Oceanic+ App Turns the Apple Watch Ultra into a Dive Computer

Originally published at: Oceanic+ App Turns the Apple Watch Ultra into a Dive Computer - TidBITS

Scuba aficionados, take note! The Oceanic+ app has shipped for the Apple Watch Ultra, turning Apple’s beefy adventure watch into a full-fledged dive computer that’s good down to 40 meters.

Got to say, I would not trust this app over my dedicated Suunto dive computer with decades of dive model development, especially as my life could depend on it. If you want to do anything more technical like tri-mix or deco stops you are probably going to need a dive computer anyway.

Like Quentin, I’d be somewhat reluctant to have the Apple watch as my sole dive computer. As an extra device it would be nice to have.

It’s probably fine for most sport divers but for more advanced divers the depth limit of 40m is also a bit of a deal breaker. Once you start diving deeper wrecks in Rabaul, Truk and even around here in Sydney it will be over its limits.
