For scenarios with limited visibility, divers can rely on the Descent X50i’s SubWave sonar technology 2, enabling underwater communication and monitoring of distance, depth, and tank pressure among diving companions. With a 20 ATM dive rating, robust construction, and reliable safety features, the Descent X50i is designed to support deep-sea exploration.
Whether scuba diving, cave diving, or seeking out shipwrecks, we know how important it is to have the most accurate data at all times. Featuring a big, bright display and a 20 ATM dive rating, the new Descent X50i is the perfect dive computer for technical divers and a great option for recreational divers who want to clearly see key stats and critical information while exploring the underwater landscape, Dan Bartel, Garmin Vice President of Global Consumer Sales
Below are the key features of Garmin Descent X50i:
- Air integration: Keep track of your tank’s air pressure when paired with a Descent T2 transceiver.
- Monitor other divers: See tank pressure, depth, and distance of up to eight divers who are using a Descent T2 transceiver, up to 10 meters away 2.
- Diver-to-diver messaging: Using SubWave technology, send preset messages to other connected divers, up to 30 meters away 2.
- DiveView TM maps: Plan the next dive with preloaded bathymetric depth contours and over 4,000 dive sites worldwide.
- In-dive depth chart and history: View depth history in real-time to better understand the locations that have already been explored and how they will affect the decompression plan.
- Ascent dive profile: Visualize an ascent plan through the Projected Ascent data field, which shows a projected depth profile associated with the current Time-To-Surface (TTS). The chart also plots depth over time and displays decompression stops and gas switches.
- Tide data: Before heading out, check nearby tide data 3 to stay up to date on ocean conditions.
- Dive compass: Navigate above (and below) the water with a 3D dive compass.
