Underwater depth tracker
A dive computer is a wearable device that tracks depth, time, and decompression limits during scuba diving.
It continuously calculates safe ascent profiles based on nitrogen absorption, replacing the need for dive tables.
Most display remaining bottom time, water temperature, and ascent rate warnings: My dive computer started beeping when I went too deep too fast.
