Apple Watch Ultra Gets Oceanic+ Dive App – Turns It Into a Dive Computer!
Apple Watch Ultra just went full deep-sea diver with the new Oceanic+ app. Designed by Huish Outdoors alongside Apple, this slick app transforms the rugged smartwatch into a proper dive computer — perfect for recreational divers hitting depths up to 40 metres (130 feet).
Dive Into Smart Tech
Oceanic+ taps into Apple Watch Ultra’s new depth gauge and water temperature sensors. The combo app system for both the watch and iPhone packs all the must-have features of a top dive computer: advanced dive planning, real-time data, and detailed post-dive reports.
“Oceanic+ on Apple Watch Ultra is one of the biggest innovations to hit the dive industry in a long time,” said Mike Huish, CEO of Huish Outdoors. “We’re creating a better, more accessible diving experience for everyone.”
Features Fit For An Underwater Adventure
- Apple Watch Ultra holds tough with WR100 water resistance and EN 13319 dive accessory certification.
- Massive 49mm titanium case with bright 2000-nit sapphire display for clear underwater visibility.
- Customisable Action Button launches Oceanic+ to pre-dive screen or marks compass bearings mid-dive.
- Pre-dive planner sets surface time, depth, gas mix, and calculates safe no-decompression limits.
- Live dive conditions like tides, water temp, visibility, and currents are included.
- Post-dive, get GPS dive entry/exit spots, depth and temperature charts, and ascent rates on your iPhone app.
- Unique haptic feedback taps your wrist underwater—even through a 7mm wetsuit—cutting through noisy echoes for clear alerts.
“Underwater, it’s hard to tell where a beep is coming from,” said Andrea Silvestri, Huish Outdoors VP of product development. “The haptics give you a gentle nudge—it’s personal and super useful.”
