Garmin Descent™ S1 Diver Communication Buoy
The Garmin Descent™ S1 Buoy bridges the communication gap between submerged divers and surface support teams. Utilizing advanced SubWave™ sonar technology, this high-visibility surface communication buoy integrates directly into the Garmin Descent dive ecosystem. It allows shore support, dive boats, and instructors to monitor diver depth, tank pressures, and locations in real time, while providing two-way diver-to-surface messaging right through the water column.
Key Surface & Diver Communication Features
- SubWave™ Sonar Surface Network: Communicates acoustically through water with compatible Garmin Descent dive computers and Descent T2 transceivers.
- Surface Diver Monitoring: Enables surface observers and dive masters to track submerged team members' tank pressures, depth profiles, and approximate locations.
- Two-Way Diver-to-Surface Messaging: Send and receive preset messages between the surface support crew and submerged divers for streamlined safety and recall protocols.
- Rugged Marine Construction: Engineered to withstand chop, rough surface waves, and harsh saltwater marine conditions while maintaining a stable acoustic transmission link.
- High-Visibility Buoy Design: Bright, high-contrast exterior profile enhances surface detection by boat traffic and shore teams.
Garmin SubWave™ Ecosystem Integration
The Descent S1 Buoy operates alongside Garmin's SubWave-enabled devices—including the Descent Mk3i series, Descent X50i, and Descent T2 Transceivers. Signal range and acoustic clarity can vary with sea state, surface chop, thermoclines, and topography.
