Garmin · Awareness

Technology that keeps the whole team connected.

Most dive safety is reactive. Something goes wrong, then you find out. Garmin flips that. Real-time air, depth, position, and messaging turn a group of separate divers into a connected team, so trouble is caught early instead of discovered too late. This is the awareness layer that makes safety proactive.

The boat sees every diver.

Underwater, divers stay linked by acoustic sonar ... watch to watch, and up to a surface buoy. The buoy adds GPS and relays each diver's position, depth, and air to the boat in real time. Above the water it is radio and satellite. Below, it is SubWave sonar.

On the wrist, on every dive

What every diver carries into the water.

These are the screens you see at the event. Real data, real dives. This is what try-before-you-buy actually feels like.

See your buddy's air

Your tank and every teammate's tank on one screen. You know who is running low before they have to signal it.

Surface GPS and maps

At the surface, full GPS with depth contours. Mark the entry, find the site, get back to the boat.

Dive Readiness

Sleep, stress, and recovery roll up into one readiness score. The watch tells you when your body is ready to dive.

Garmin Descent watch showing a message from a buddy named Jamie reading 'Are you okay?' at 57 feet of depth.

Message a buddy underwater

A short message from one wrist to another. 'Are you okay?' answered without surfacing, without guessing.

The connective tissue

The gear that connects the whole dive.

Descent watch and transmitter

A dive computer on the wrist and a regulator transmitter together stream depth, position, and air consumption. The diver knows. The boat knows.

inReach satellite SOS

Out past cell coverage, one button sends GPS coordinates and an emergency message over satellite. The signal reaches help even when nothing else can.

Descent buoy and sonar

Towed at the surface, the buoy tracks every diver below by sonar. The dive safety officer on the boat sees each diver's position and air, and can message a diver to surface.

The connected-safety ecosystem

Three partners, one chain that holds when a dive turns serious.

Training from PADI. The safety net from DAN. The awareness layer from Garmin. Each one is a piece of staying safe in the water, and Garmin is the piece that catches trouble early enough for the other two to matter.
