Oceanic+ app on Apple Watch Ultra

The Oceanic+ app turns Apple Watch Ultra into a powerful, easy-to-use dive computer.  Apple, Oceanic+ enables recreational scuba divers to take the watch they wear every day to previously unreachable depths up to 40 meters, or 130 feet, to be exact, with the all-new depth gauge and water temperature sensors on the watch.

The Oceanic+ app on Apple Watch Ultra and the companion app for iPhone provide all of the key features of an advanced dive computer, robust dive planning, and a comprehensive post-dive experience. The app will show divers a warning if they are descending or ascending too quickly and it will show an estimated time it’d take to get back to the surface. This is especially aimed at enabling divers to manage their time more efficiently and reducing the things they need to worry about.

The app will also let divers set compass heading during a dive. There is also a planner that considers tide, temperature, visibility, and currents before going on a dive. Watch face complications can show the wearer no-fly time, surface time, among others. Oceanic+ will use the Taptic Engine and the Apple Watch Ultra’s big bright display to notify the diver of any crucial info during a diving session.
