The Garmin Descent T2 Transceiver delivers comprehensive dive monitoring by combining advanced dive computer functionality with wireless tank pressure transmission. This compact device transforms any diving setup into a fully integrated monitoring system that tracks depth, time, and remaining air supply simultaneously.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard tank pressure transmitters that only send air data, the Descent T2 functions as both a backup dive computer and wireless transmitter. The device calculates decompression stops, tracks nitrogen loading, and transmits tank pressure data to compatible Garmin dive computers up to 30 feet away. This dual functionality eliminates the need for separate backup instruments while providing redundant safety systems.
Key Features
- Dual-function design serves as backup dive computer and wireless tank pressure transmitter
- Wireless transmission range up to 30 feet underwater to compatible Garmin devices
- Built-in decompression algorithm with customizable conservatism factors
