This revolutionary diver communication buoy works with the Garmin dive ecosystem, enabling topside crew members to monitor and track their dive groups — as well as exchange preset messages with divers wearing compatible dive computers. Networked divers can also see distance and direction to the buoy for back-to-base reference.
REMOTE DIVER MONITORING
Surface crew can monitor divers equipped with Descent T2 transceivers to keep track of tank pressures, air remaining, depths of the divers and more. Automatic alerts can let topside crew know if there’s an issue with tanks or depth ranges below.
TWO-WAY MESSAGING
Via the Garmin Dive smart-device app, topside crew can exchange preset messages with the networked Descent dive computers below, alerting divers if there’s a situation they need to know about.
DIVER LOCATION TRACKING
Viewers at the surface can track the approximate range to each diver in the SubWave sonar network — with 1-meter line-of-sight accuracy, up to 60 meters away from the Descent S1 buoy.
FIND MY BUOY
Divers in the network can see the distances and directions back to the buoy, giving them clear return-to-base references if they drift too far from the Descent S1 buoy or become disoriented.
POST-DIVE REVIEW
After surfacing, networked divers can review their underwater heatmaps on the Garmin Dive smartphone app to see approximately where they were exploring.
RUGGED DESIGN
The sturdy, compact 2-lb buoy is impact-resistant and water-rated to 1 ATM.
LONG BATTERY LIFE
The rechargeable lithium battery gives up to 15 hours of battery life, letting you dive longer between recharges.
