Explore the abyssal ocean realms with the Oceanic+ app and the robust Apple Watch Ultra
The Oceanic+ app, a collaboration between Huish Outdoors and Apple, is now available for download on the App Store. This innovative diving app offers a user-friendly interface and simple navigation menus, making it an ideal companion for those looking to explore the underwater world.
Oceanic+ is designed to assist divers at every level, from beginners to experienced explorers. Nick Hollis, brand manager for Oceanic at Huish Outdoors, describes the thrill of venturing into the unknown while diving, comparing the experience to journeying into outer space. Olivier Laguette, vice president of marketing at Huish Outdoors, shares the sentiment, likening the diving experience to a journey of discovery.
For those seeking advanced features, Oceanic+ offers a subscription service. For $9.99 (US) per month or $79.99 (US) annually, users gain access to decompression tracking, tissue loading, the location planner, and an unlimited logbook capacity. Family Sharing is also available for $129 (US) annually, allowing access for up to five people.
The Oceanic+ app offers complications that provide important information and tools at a glance. These include no-fly time, surface time, dive planner, dive settings, current elevation, maximum elevation allowed, and a quick access button back into the app. One of the standout features is haptic feedback, which allows divers to feel notifications underwater through a series of vibrations.
The app is designed to work seamlessly with the Apple Watch Ultra, providing all key features of an advanced dive computer. The Apple Watch Ultra, with its water resistance rating of 100 meters under ISO standard 22810, is certified to WR100 and EN 13319, an internationally recognized standard for dive accessories. However, it should be noted that the Apple Watch Ultra is suitable for recreational scuba diving to 40 meters only, and should not be used for diving below 40 meters.
The Oceanic+ app calculates No Deco (no-decompression) time and integrates dive conditions such as tides, water temperature, and community updates. It also plays an unexpected role in cutting through the noise of echoing sounds underwater, thanks to its haptic feedback feature.
For those who prefer to test the waters before committing, the basic plan of Oceanic+ is free. This includes depth and time, as well as logging of most recent dives. Whether you're ready to dive right in or prefer to take it one step at a time, Oceanic+ offers a safe and enjoyable way to explore the ocean's depths.
