## What is FreeDive Ultra?

FreeDive Ultra is the only app built exclusively for freediving on Apple Watch Ultra. Open water, pool, and dry apnea. Every dive tracked automatically. Zero touch required.

Tap once before entering the water. FreeDive Ultra detects every descent, tracks depth, time, and temperature second by second, and starts a recovery timer with live heart rate the moment you surface. Save GPS locations as you go and navigate to your favourite dive sites from your wrist. Your swim route is mapped by GPS in the background, ready to view on iPhone after the dive. The Digital Crown scrolls between live data screens: depth, recovery, descent & ascent speed, compass, save location, dive spot navigation and session stats.

FREE WORKING DIVE WATCH
The free tier gives you a working dive watch. Real-time depth, dive time, surface recovery with live heart rate, your dive list on iPhone, iCloud backup, explorable demo dives, and dive history import in UDDF and other formats. No subscription required. No time limit. No catch.

THE FULL FREEDIVE ULTRA EXPERIENCE
The moment you descend, tracking begins. Depth, dive time, and water temperature update every second. The watch switches to Live Dive automatically, no interaction needed.

WHEN YOU SURFACE
The watch switches to Recovery automatically. A timer counts your surface interval the moment you break the water, alongside your live heart rate. You know exactly how long you've been breathing and when you're ready for the next dive. Scroll the Crown to check your session stats, save a location, or navigate to your next dive spot.

POOL AND DRY TRAINING
Pool mode counts every length and totals your distance automatically. Dry mode guides your breathe-up and tracks your personal best, anywhere you are.

BACK ON LAND
Sessions sync automatically to iPhone. At a glance you see the big picture: dive count, max depth, longest dive, session time, plus your health data (calories, heart rate, and duration) synced to Apple Fitness via HealthKit.

Your swim route is plotted on a map with total distance, entry and exit points, and any locations you saved during the session, captured from surface GPS fixes when your watch is above water.

Add photos, log ocean conditions (visibility, current, surface), write notes, and rate the session.

Session Charts show your heart rate, depth, and water temperature across the full session. Drag any chart to see live values for that moment across all three.

Then go deeper. Every individual dive gets its own depth profile chart with second-by-second depth and temperature, descent and ascent times, descent and ascent rates, and surface heart rate. The detail you need to understand each dive and track your progress over time.

DEPTH
Depth reading is capped at 6 metres while we work with Apple on the full 40m entitlement. Every other feature works identically at any depth.

FREE VS PRO
The free tier is a real dive watch: automatic tracking, surface recovery, your dive list, iCloud backup, demo dives, and UDDF import. No subscription, no time limit, no catch.

Pro unlocks everything else. On the watch: session overview, descent & ascent speed, compass, dive spot navigation, and save locations. 8 haptic alarms felt through your wrist. Swim route tracking with distance. Tune the watch to your style: configurable session timeout from 5 to 60 minutes, customisable surface screens, and adjustable Crown sensitivity. Automatic stealth mode. On iPhone: 3D Flyover, a cinematic replay of your dive route, ready to share.

Curate up to 10 dive sites on iPhone, push one to your watch, and navigate to it with live direction and distance.

Export your dive data in UDDF format, the universal standard used by dive log software worldwide. 7-day free trial.

Built by a freediver for freedivers.

### 5/5 — Great app for spearfishing

*2026-08-14*

I have been using this app for a month now. It is simple to set up and simple to use. It is clear that it was developed for free divers and it is not just another scaled down scuba diving app. The most important part is excellent support. Developer is super responsive and takes all feedback seriously. In addition new features are pushed out frequently. Highly recommended!

### 5/5 — Great app and support

*2026-07-30*

Used this app on multiple spearfishing outings, and the app really supports surface recovery times and logs detailed dive parameters. I had an issue where my iWatch Ultra battery died before the app was able to transfer the dive to my iPhone. The developer looked into the issue, and was able to update the app to allow the transfer of the saved dive from my iWatch to my iPhone without any loss of data. The turnaround time on this enhancement was very timely. I highly recommend this app to all free divers and spear fishers. I am still exploring all the capabilities of this app.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for

*2026-05-18, version 1.1*

This is a great app, they’ve clearly thought through what spearos need. Smart features. It’s cool.

### 5/5 — Easy way to log freediving sessions

*2026-05-16, version 1.1*

Does what I need without all the scuba stuff that clutters up other apps. The iPhone logbook is handy for looking back at where I've been and how the session went. Worth it if you already wear an Apple Watch Ultra

### 5/5 — Perfect app!!!!

*2026-05-11, version 1.1*

Cracking app
Could pinpoint all our little dives, my partner loves it. And it pops up on our iPhone map for our next trip! Well done guys!!! Xxxx

### 5/5 — Clean app, just for freediving

*2026-05-10*

Refreshing to find an app that's actually dedicated to freediving and not trying to do everything.  Clean and simple.  The swim route on the map after a dive is a great touch.

### 5/5 — Save pin  is great for spearos

*2026-05-08, version 1.1*

The save pin feature is what makes it for me. When I'm out spearfishing and find a good spot, I drop a pin from the watch and it's on the iPhone map next trip. No phone in the dry bag. Use it every session.
It’s a cracker !!
