  • Enhanced Navigation: Visualize coastal depth zones and underwater terrain to maintain better orientation during your dives.
  • Surface Interval Insights: During apnea surface intervals, easily view your dive entry and exit points on the map for improved situational awareness.
  • Interactive Mapping: Pan and zoom through maps, marking specific locations during your dives to revisit or share with fellow divers.

SubWave Sonar for Diver Communication

Stay connected with your dive group using Garmin's innovative SubWave sonar technology. When paired with the Descent T2 transceiver, the Mk3i enables seamless underwater communication and monitoring.

  • Diver-to-Diver Messaging: Exchange preset messages like "Are you okay?" or "Safely end dive" with other divers up to 30 meters away, ensuring everyone stays informed.
  • Comprehensive Monitoring: Keep track of tank pressures, depths, and other vital information for up to 8 divers within a 10-meter range, enhancing group safety and coordination.

Air Integration with T2 Transceivers

Achieve real-time awareness of your air supply by integrating the Descent Mk3i with the Descent T2 Tank Pod Transceiver. This wireless setup provides critical data at a glance.

  • Seamless Pairing: Mount the T2 transceiver directly onto your tank's first stage or high-pressure hose to transmit live data to your Mk3i watch.
  • Multi-Tank Support: Monitor up to eight tanks simultaneously within a 10-meter range, perfect for complex dives or group scenarios.
  • Durable Design: With a battery life of up to 100 hours on a single charge and a dive rating of 20 ATM (200 meters), the T2 transceiver is built to withstand deep dives.

Two-Way Diver Messaging

Enhance underwater communication with the Mk3i's two-way messaging system. This feature allows you to stay connected with your dive buddies, improving safety and coordination.

  • Preset Messages: Quickly send essential messages such as "Come to me" or "Safely end dive" to keep everyone on the same page.
  • Extended Range: Communicate with other divers up to 30 meters away, ensuring reliable contact even in low-visibility conditions.

Real-Time Depth Data Integration

Stay informed with accurate, real-time depth data displayed on the Mk3i's bright AMOLED screen. This ensures you have immediate access to critical information during your dive.

  • Live Depth Readings: Monitor your current depth with precision, essential for maintaining safety and optimizing your dive experience.
  • Integrated Compass: Utilize the electronic compass that functions underwater, aiding in navigation and helping you stay oriented throughout your dive.

Emergency Signal Transmission

Prioritize safety with the Mk3i's advanced emergency signal features, designed to provide peace of mind during your underwater adventures.

  • Distress Signals: In case of emergencies, send critical alerts to connected divers within a 10-meter range, ensuring prompt assistance when needed.
  • Proactive Alerts: Receive visual and vibrational notifications for low tank pressure, critical air levels, or communication issues, keeping you aware of potential risks.

Wireless Tank Pressure Monitoring

Keep a close eye on your air supply with the Mk3i's wireless tank pressure monitoring, providing real-time data to help you manage your dive effectively.

  • Accurate Readings: Monitor tank pressure, gas consumption rates, and remaining air time directly on your Mk3i, allowing for informed decisions underwater.
  • Group Monitoring: Track up to eight tanks within a 10-meter range, making it ideal for instructors or dive leaders overseeing group dives.

The Garmin Descent Mk3i is more than just a dive computer; it's a comprehensive tool designed to enhance every aspect of your diving experience. Whether you're exploring new depths or coordinating with your dive team, the Mk3i offers the features and reliability you need to dive with confidence.

Garmin Descent Mk3i Specifications

Display

  • Descent Mk3i (43mm): 1.2″ AMOLED color touchscreen display with a resolution of 390 × 390 pixels. The screen is protected by a sapphire crystal lens for scratch resistance.
  • Descent Mk3i (51mm): Larger 1.4″ AMOLED color touchscreen, with a higher 454 × 454 pixel resolution. It also uses a sapphire crystal lens. Both models offer vibrant, high-contrast displays, with the larger variant providing more screen real estate and bigger text for readability.

Battery Life

  • Descent Mk3i (43mm): Up to 10 days in smartwatch mode (around 4 days with always-on display). Supports roughly 28 hours of continuous GPS use (GPS-only) on a charge. In dive mode, it lasts up to ~30 hours (without air integration) or about 15 hours when using integrated tank pressure monitoring.
  • Descent Mk3i (51mm): Significantly longer battery life due to its larger battery. It lasts up to 25 days in smartwatch mode (≈10 days with always-on), and about 76 hours of GPS usage per charge. In dive mode, it can run ~66 hours (no transmitter) or up to 40 hours with air integration active.

Both variants also support power-saving modes: Battery Saver (up to 12 days on 43mm vs. 31 days on 51mm) and Expedition GPS mode for ultra-long tracking (up to 10 days vs. 24 days). The larger model’s battery advantage is a key consideration for those needing maximum endurance.

Diving Capabilities

  • Dive Modes & Algorithm: Supports Single-Gas, Multi-Gas (Nitrox and Trimix up to 100% O₂), Gauge (bottom timer), Apnea (freediving), Apnea Hunt, and Closed-Circuit Rebreather (CCR) modes. Uses the Bühlmann ZHL-16c decompression algorithm with configurable gradient factors for safety.
  • Air Integration: Both Mk3i variants support wireless tank pressure integration via Garmin’s SubWave™ sonar technology, when paired with the Descent T2 transmitters. You can monitor up to 8 tanks/transmitters simultaneously.
  • Interface & Dive Tools: Includes a 3-axis digital compass for underwater navigation, customizable data fields, and preloaded dive site maps with underwater topography. GPS marks entry/exit points.
  • Notable Difference – Dive Torch: The 51mm Mk3i model includes a built-in high-intensity LED flashlight, a feature not available on the 43mm version.
