For an easy start
The Descent X10 is Garmin's entry-level dive computer: large type, four buttons and single gas, freediving and gauge modes. According to the Garmin data sheet it does not support multiple gases (multigas). The X30, Mk3 and X50i are meant for that.
As backup and for rental
With setup sharing you share settings between compatible Descent dive computers. The new rental mode helps dive schools quickly reset devices for several divers.
After the dive
In the Garmin Dive app you review dives, mark dive spots, manage your equipment and share photos with dive data. With the Garmin Explore tool you discover more than 4,000 dive spots worldwide.
A dive computer does not replace dive training or dive planning. Always dive within the limits of your training.
