Duiken by Varuste.net / Toimisto-Jorma, 1.8.2024

The Garmin Descent product line offers high-end dive computers designed for both recreational divers and professionals. Descent devices combine Garmin's superior smart technology with the demands of diving, bringing multi-sport and adventure features alongside versatile functionalities for divers, such as advanced navigation capabilities, health tracking, and precise dive data. The Descent series includes several models that meet the needs of different types of divers.
Let’s take a closer look at what each model has to offer.

Garmin Descent Mk1
Garmin’s first dive computer, the Descent Mk1, introduced groundbreaking features to the market. Its key features include full-color map navigation, support for multiple dive modes, including nitrox and trimix, and a wrist-worn design that makes it practical both underwater and on land. The Mk1 also includes smart functions such as GPS tracking on the surface and precise monitoring of dive data.

Since the Mk1, the devices have featured Garmin's innovative and reliable wristband mechanism, allowing users to quickly switch from a casual sports watch band to one suited for their workout or warm-water diving. It also allows for easy swapping to longer straps when heading out for dry suit diving in colder waters.

Garmin Descent Mk2 and Mk2i
The Descent Mk2 and Mk2i raised the bar even higher, bringing a larger display, improved dive profiles, and a dive algorithm that considers more complex diving conditions. The Mk2i model also features an integrated air system that connects to the diver’s tank, providing real-time information on remaining air supply. Both models include built-in features for adventure and multi-sport training, heart rate and oxygen saturation monitoring, and, like the previous model, GPS map navigation on the surface.

Garmin Descent G-Series
The Descent G-Series represents a lighter and more compact alternative compared to the Mk models, designed specifically for divers who want a versatile device without all the heavy-duty features. G-Series models still offer an excellent diving experience, including accurate dive measurements and support for multiple dive modes. However, their focus is more on lightweight features suitable for everyday use, such as GPS navigation and sports modes. G-Series models are particularly popular among divers who also want to use their device for multi-sport and outdoor activities on land.
A highly versatile device for all activities.

Garmin Descent Mk3 - New Standards in Dive Technology
The Garmin Descent Mk3 takes dive technology to a whole new level. Compared to previous models, the Mk3 is equipped with an even brighter AMOLED display, ensuring clear visibility even in challenging lighting conditions. The battery is optimized for longer diving trips, offering extended usage time on a single charge.

The Mk3 features improved dive profile management and utilizes Garmin's refined algorithm, providing even more precise control during deep and long dives. One of the most notable additions is the enhanced integration with other Garmin devices and apps, such as the extended support of the Garmin Connect app for dive data analysis. The Mk3 is ideal for various types of diving activities, including demanding technical dives and advanced freediving features.

The Mk3 not only meets the needs of experienced divers but exceeds expectations by offering a perfect combination of dive technology and everyday smart features.
