Eco-friendly dive computer with a large, vivid display helps recreational divers explore with confidence

OLATHE, Kan.(September 25, 2025) /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – Garmin (NYSE: GRMN) today announced Descent^™ X30, an easy-to-read, large-format dive computer with an eco-friendly design. Featuring a vibrant 2.4-inch display and a housing and bezel made with recycled ocean-bound plastics, Descent X30 is ready for the next dive with large leakproof metal buttons, a 10 ATM dive rating and up to 30 hours of battery life. It also includes support for multiple dive profiles and new NDL Aware^™ depth metrics to help divers explore for longer.

“We understand how important it is for recreational divers to have a large, bright display that is easy to read while below the surface. The Descent X30 does just that with a rugged design, vivid screen and essential dive features; it’s the perfect companion for those who enjoy taking in the beauty of the underwater world.”
—Susan Lyman, Garmin Vice President of Consumer Sales and Marketing

Dive-ready design

• Large color display: Quickly see detailed dive data and custom dive screens on a 2.4-inch display.
• Eco-friendly materials: 100 percent of the plastic used in the housing and bezel is made with recycled ocean-bound plastics.
• Leakproof metal buttons: Easily navigate between screens when underwater—even while wearing gloves.
• Flip-screen mode: Orient the buttons on either the top or the bottom of the device to easily operate in conjunction with other dive gear.

Dive with greater awareness

Descent X30 offers a suite of features that help divers make the most of their bottom time. New NDL Aware depth metrics work in real-time to show how specific depth changes can impact the NDL (no-decompression limit). Surface GPS lets divers navigate to dive sites, start the dive right on target and review their dives in the Garmin Dive^™ app, while a 3-axis digital compass helps divers navigate precisely throughout the dive. While underwater, divers can maintain situational awareness with audible and vibration alerts and use the dynamic depth chart to see a real-time graph of their depth and a projected ascent plan that includes safety or decompression stops. Descent X30 can also help divers interested in going beyond the recreational limits with support for multi-gas dive profiles, including trimix. And when paired with an inReach^® satellite communicator and dive case, divers can remotely trigger an SOS message while above the surface¹.

Available now, Descent X30 has a suggested retail price of $749.99. For more information on Garmin’s full dive lineup, visit www.garmin.com.
