The Garmin Descent X50i - This Dive Computer Has it All!
Garmin just dropped something big—literally and figuratively. The new Descent X50i dive computer packs an insane number of features into a rugged, full-color device built for both recreational and technical divers. I got my hands on one and filmed a quick preview to give you a sense of what it can do.
We’re talking diver-to-diver messaging, real-time tank pressure tracking (with the Descent T2), DiveView™ maps with over 4,000 dive sites, and even an integrated backup dive light. It’s designed for serious underwater communication and safety—and looks like something straight out of the future.
In this video, I break down the features that stood out most on first impression, including how the SubWave™ sonar system works and why this might be the most advanced dive computer Garmin’s released yet.
