Explore deeper ocean territories with Oceanic+ app and Apple Watch Ultra, designed for advanced diving experiences.
The Oceanic+ app, a revolutionary tool designed for underwater exploration, is now available for download on the App Store for the Apple Watch Ultra. This partnership between Oceanic and Huish Outdoors promises to revolutionise the diving experience.
To make the most of this new app, your Apple Watch Ultra needs to be running watchOS 9.1, paired with an iPhone 8 or later, or an iPhone SE (2nd generation) or later running iOS 16.1.
The Oceanic+ app on the Apple Watch Ultra offers a user-friendly interface, with colours, animations, and simple navigation menus, making it accessible for anyone looking to dive and explore the underwater world safely.
One of the key features of the Oceanic+ app is its haptic feedback system, which delivers notifications underwater, even through a 7mm thick wetsuit. This ensures divers stay informed throughout their dives, enhancing safety and enjoyment.
The Action button on the Apple Watch Ultra can be customised to launch the Oceanic+ app into the predive screen, and during a dive, pressing the Action button will mark a compass bearing.
Oceanic+ calculates No Deco (no-decompression) time, integrates dive conditions, and provides post-dive data on the Apple Watch Ultra and the companion app. This comprehensive feature set offers simple, easy-to-understand cues and guidance before, during, and after a dive.
For those seeking advanced features such as decompression tracking, tissue loading, the location planner, and an unlimited logbook capacity, Oceanic+ is available for $9.99 (US) per month or $79.99 (US) annually. The basic plan, which includes depth and time tracking, as well as logging most recent dives, is free.
Family Sharing is available for $129 (US) annually, allowing access for up to five people. The Oceanic+ app also offers complications that bring important information to users at a glance, including no-fly time, surface time, quick access to the dive planner, dive settings, current elevation, maximum elevation allowed, and a quick access button back into the app.
Apple Watch Ultra is certified to WR100 and EN 13319, an internationally recognized standard for dive accessories, including depth gauges. Always follow diving protocols and dive with a companion and have a secondary device. Apple Watch Ultra has a water resistance rating of 100 meters under ISO standard 22810 and may be used for recreational scuba diving (with a compatible third-party app from the App Store) to 40 meters, but should not be used for diving below 40 meters.
Nick Hollis, the brand manager for Oceanic at Huish Outdoors, describes the thrill of venturing into the unknown while diving. "Diving is like journeying into outer space," he says. "You never know what you might discover."
Olivier Laguette, Huish Outdoors' vice president of marketing, compares diving to journeying into outer space. "With Oceanic+ on the Apple Watch Ultra, we're bringing the depths of the ocean to your wrist," he says. "It's an exciting time for underwater exploration."
The Oceanic+ app teams up with Apple Watch Ultra to provide key features of an advanced dive computer, robust dive planning, and a comprehensive post-dive experience. Together, they are set to redefine underwater exploration for a new generation of divers.
