The Oceanic+ app for the Apple Watch Ultra is now available on the App store. It is intended for scuba divers to gather, share, and compare metrics before, during and after diving. Most of the features are available for free on the basic plan while extras such as decompression tracking, tissue loading, the location planner, and unlimited logbook capacity cost US$ 9.99 (AU$ 15.99) per month or US$ 79.99 (AU$ 129.99) per year.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Designed by Huish Outdoors in collaboration with Apple, the Oceanic+ app collects metrics at up to 40m 0r 130ft depth and comes with a companion iPhone app. It shows metrics such as water temperature, no-decompression (No Deco) time, diver’s current depth, and more. Features such as dive planner help with deducing no-decompression time – the time limit to remain at a certain depth in water –, providing up to date information and post-dive data.
Oceanic+ is marketed as a good replacement for the dive computer.
The app also taps into the watch’s haptic feedback to buzz users, when necessary, irrespective of the conditions underwater. Other metrics and settings available with the app’s features include no-fly time, surface time, dive settings, current elevation, and maximum elevation allowed.
Apple Watch Ultra is the company’s first rugged smartwatch. It has a large 49-mm titanium case, a programmable action button, Emergency SOS, cycle tracking, fall & crash detection and EN13319-certified for diving accessories depth gauges. The Oceanic+ app is available on the App store and requires watchOS 9.1 and iOS 16.1 to be running on compatible devices.
