Innovative Underwater Communication and Dive Monitoring

With the Garmin Descent S1 Diver Communication Buoy, you get a state-of-the-art device specially designed for divers who value safety, connectivity, and precise dive monitoringsuch as dive instructors, dive safari organisers, dive guides, or simply divers who dive in groups and want to keep everyone safe.

This robust and compact buoy expands the Garmin Descent ecosystem with a reliable communication and positioning platform that connects the surface team with divers underwater, as well as divers with each other underwater. Discover here how the Descent S1 makes your dives safer and more transparent.

Diver Communication Underwater or Between Surface Crew and Dive Team

The Descent S1 allows pairing with up to eight Descent T2 transceivers (sold separately) and connects wirelessly to the Garmin Dive app. This way, people on the surfacesuch as your crew on boardcan monitor important dive data like tank pressure, dive depth, and distance to you and your dive buddies in real time.

Predefined messages can be sent and received via the app, both from the surface team to the dive team and between divers underwater using compatible dive computers.

This allows the surface crew not only to keep an eye on the entire dive teams position and parameters, but also to provide divers with important information such as weather changes. Conversely, divers underwater can inform the surface crew about any emergencies that occur underwater, so help can be requested promptly in case of an emergency.

Please note the information below regarding the unrestricted functionality of these features.

Precise Positioning and Navigation Underwater

The Descent S1 reliably shows you the distance and direction back to the buoy during your dive. This simplifies your orientation, increases your situational awareness, and makes returning to base easier.

On the surface, multi-frequency reception with GPS and GLONASS ensures precise positioning, even in challenging environments. Using the integrated position radar, you and your crew can track all divers in the SubWave sonar network with a range of up to 100 metres.

Robust Design and Long Battery Life for Continuous Use

The Garmin Descent S1 is compact, shock-resistant, and waterproof to IPX8 standards down to 10 metres depth. Weighing only 900 grams, it is easy to handle and transport. The powerful lithium-ion battery offers up to 15 hours of runtime, allowing you to dive all day without interruption and without worrying about recharging.

Comprehensive Dive Analysis in the Garmin Dive App

After your dive, you can analyse your data in the Garmin Dive app. The app displays a heatmap of your dive profile with detailed information about dive sites, dive times, and distances covered. This gives you valuable insights into your diving habits and helps you plan your next dives even better.

Safe and Comfortable Underwater Communication with the Garmin Ecosystem for Divers

The combination of the Descent S1 buoy, the Descent T2 transceivers, the Garmin Dive app, and compatible Garmin dive computers enables secure underwater communication, orientation, dive group monitoring, and data exchange between surface crew and dive teamsignificantly enhancing safety and coordination during group or professional dives.
