SETUPSHARING

Before a dive, avoid manually entering dive settings across both your primary and backup dive computers. Instead, seamlessly synchronise two compatible Descent dive computers, ensuring that each can function as a fully interchangeable backup to the other. You can sync dive settings such as gases, conservatism and alerts.

Now available on the Descent Mk3, Mk3i, G2, X30 or X50i dive computer.
