Product Information
This bundle brings together the three pieces of Garmin's dive communication system: the Descent X50i dive computer, the Descent T2 transceiver, and the Descent S1 diver communication buoy. Built around SubWave sonar, the three components let divers exchange preset messages and monitor tank pressure, depth, and distance with up to 8 divers at once, while the S1 buoy extends that same picture to the surface team.
The Descent X50i is the hub of the system, with a 3-inch color touchscreen, a 20 ATM dive rating, and leakproof metal buttons built for repeated use in the water. Paired with the Descent T2 transceiver, it adds air integration, tracking pressure, depth, air consumption rate, and time remaining for up to 8 tanks, with the T2 itself dive-rated to 20 ATM. The T2 ships with an air spool and documentation alongside the transceiver. DiveView color maps preloaded on the X50i cover bathymetric depth contours for over 4,000 dive sites, and a built-in backup dive light adds a margin of safety in low-visibility conditions.
The Descent S1 buoy rounds out the system by giving surface teams a live view of the dive: tank pressure, depth, distance, and alerts for up to 8 divers, plus return-to-base direction tracking for divers wearing a T2-paired computer. It runs up to 15 hours on a rechargeable battery, connects to the Garmin Dive app over Wi-Fi within 60 m for two-way preset messaging, and stores post-dive heatmaps of exploration areas for review after you're back on the boat.
- 3-Inch Color Touchscreen & 20 ATM Rating - The Descent X50i pairs a large touchscreen display with leakproof metal buttons rated for 200 meters of water depth.
- SubWave™ Sonar Messaging - Exchange preset messages and monitor tank pressure, depth, and distance for up to 8 divers at once.
- Descent T2 Tank Monitoring - Tracks air pressure, depth, air consumption rate, and time remaining for up to 8 tanks, dive-rated to 20 ATM.
- Descent S1 Surface Monitoring - Gives surface teams live tracking of diver tank pressure, depth, distance, and alerts, plus return-to-base direction for T2-paired divers.
- 15-Hour Rechargeable Buoy Battery - The S1 buoy connects to the Garmin Dive app over Wi-Fi within 60 m for two-way messaging throughout the dive.
- DiveView™ Color Maps - Preloaded bathymetric depth contours for over 4,000 dive sites on the X50i.
- Integrated Backup Dive Light - Built into the X50i for added safety in low-visibility conditions.
- Post-Dive Heatmap Review - The Garmin Dive app shows exploration areas covered during the dive after you surface.
- One Connected SubWave System - The X50i, T2, and S1 share the same SubWave sonar network, so diver-to-diver and diver-to-surface communication run on the same protocol without separate setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Garmin Descent X50i dive computer?
The Descent X50i is Garmin's premium dive computer, built around a 3-inch color touchscreen and rated to 20 ATM (200 meters) with leakproof metal buttons for durability. It includes DiveView color maps preloaded with bathymetric contours for over 4,000 dive sites, multiple customizable dive modes, and an integrated backup dive light. It supports air integration when paired with a Descent T2 transceiver, which is included in this bundle.
How many divers can I communicate with using SubWave sonar on the Descent X50i?
Using SubWave sonar-based diver messaging, the Descent X50i can exchange preset messages and monitor tank pressure, depth and distance for up to 8 divers within a 10-meter range. When paired with a Descent T2 transceiver, it also displays live tank pressure and air-time data.
What is the Garmin Descent S1 Diver Communication Buoy and how does it improve diver safety?
The Descent S1 buoy uses Garmin's SubWave sonar network so a surface team can monitor up to eight divers at once, including tank pressure, depth and real-time alerts. It exchanges two-way preset messages with divers using Descent T2-paired dive computers, and those divers can see distance and direction back to the buoy for return-to-base navigation. It runs on a rechargeable battery rated for up to 15 hours and connects to the Garmin Dive app over Wi-Fi within 60 meters.
What does the Garmin Descent T2 transceiver do, and what's included with it?
The Descent T2 transceiver pairs with the air-integrated Descent X50i to send live tank data, using SubWave sonar to track up to 8 tanks including pressure, depth, air consumption rate and time remaining. It's dive-rated to 20 ATM (200 meters) and runs on a CR123A lithium battery rated for up to 100 hours. The T2 package includes the transceiver, an air spool, and documentation.
