DIVEROUT is an all-in-one dive companion for Apple Watch Ultra, dive log management, underwater media, freediving training, and dive trip planning. It is built for divers who want one place to plan, dive, import, improve, remember, and share their underwater life without splitting every step across separate tools. • Apple Watch Ultra dive computer Turn Apple Watch Ultra into a real-time dive computer for scuba, freediving, and snorkeling. DIVEROUT supports automatic water detection, depth, temperature, battery, no-decompression limit, safety stops, decompression planning, ceiling estimates, time-to-surface, ascent-rate tracking, Air and Nitrox, and the Bühlmann ZH-L16C model with Gradient Factors. Keep the key dive information on your wrist, whether you are checking the plan before entry, monitoring your profile underwater, or reviewing the session after surfacing. • AI tank pressure prediction Plan dives with more confidence even without a transmitter. After a few dives with simple input, DIVEROUT learns your breathing and gas consumption patterns, then estimates gas trends from depth and time. • Dive computer import Bring your logbook together from major dive computers and dive platforms, including Garmin Dive, Suunto, Shearwater, Diverlog+, Oceanic, Oceanic+, Apple Watch, PADI, SSI, ATMOS, UDDF, and more. Instead of leaving your dive history scattered across devices and accounts, DIVEROUT helps you keep depth, time, gas, media, notes, and training records in one organized logbook. • AI underwater color correction Restore blue and green underwater photos and videos with one tap. DIVEROUT supports photo and video enhancement, batch processing, and fine tuning for clearer memories from every trip. • Freediving and apnea training Run apnea tests and training sessions from your wrist, track progress over time, and save every session automatically to your dive log. DIVEROUT helps freedivers keep training history connected with the rest of their underwater activity, from casual pool sessions to ocean dives. • Logbook, community, and buddies Record depth, bottom time, gas mix, marine life, notes, media, and shared dives. Follow divers, share stories, manage dive buddies, and keep your dive history connected. • Dive shops and trip planning Find trusted dive shops and dive sites worldwide, browse details and reviews, filter by location and service, and plan your next underwater adventure with less friction. Whether you are preparing a local weekend dive or a longer dive trip, DIVEROUT helps connect planning, diving, logging, media, and community in one workflow.

About

ShalloWeDive

Features
Read full description

Track your depth at a glance — right on your wrist, right underwater. ShalloWeDive is a real-time depth tracker built for shallow water — down to about 6 meters — using the Apple Watch depth sensor, with an iPhone companion for your dive logbook and dry-land breath-hold training. Snorkeling, freediving, spearfishing, or a mermaid set: see your depth, water temperature, heart rate, and dive time the moment you go under. No phone signal, no internet, no subscription — just your wrist and the water. Color-coded safety zones change as you descend — safe (teal), caution (yellow), danger (orange) — so you always know where you are without looking away from the water. How Far You Actually Swam Dynamic apnea is scored in distance, yet no dive computer measures it. Now your wrist does: the wall turns of a pool swim are counted from the watch's motion, and the rest screen shows the swim's distance — turns times the pool length plus the last partial length — marked "~" as the estimate it is. Correct it on your phone; the original stays beside your correction. The Clocks a Dive Computer Has — On Your Wrist, and Your Buddy's Static, dynamic, tables, interval, stopwatch and surface interval, all on the watch, all staying lit through Water Lock and wrist-down: - Static: taps before, at and after your target; the hold starts when your wrist goes under and ends on the Action button — or when your wrist comes out - Dynamic: the swim ends when you surface and the rest counts from that instant — shrinking-rest CO₂ sets or fixed-interval departures - Your phone's tables, run in the water: each hold a target, each rest from the moment you came up - As breath-holder or buddy: one program, timed by the water on one wrist and by a tap on the other; the phone shows both records side by side Breath-hold in water is done only with a trained buddy watching, never alone. Train Your Breath-Hold — On Dry Land The iPhone companion also coaches classic apnea tables, no watch required: - CO₂ table, O₂ table, or a single static hold — or build a table of your own - Every round runs a recovery first, then the hold, so you always start rested - Voice announcements pace each phase, even with the phone locked - Every session is recorded, round by round Dive Under Your Own Discipline Choose your discipline before the session and the watch applies its timing: Freedive — one deliberate descent per surfacing, with a surface rest timer between dives; Mermaid — a rehearsal set of short, shallow immersions inside a fixed window, with targets for depth, bottom time, and dive count. On Your Watch - Real-time depth and water temperature from the built-in depth sensor - Heart rate monitoring during every dive - Multi-dive session tracking with automatic dive counting - Descent and ascent times for every dive within the sensor's range - A dive logbook on your watch, saved between sessions The iPhone Companion Review your whole logbook on a bigger screen: - Dives group into outings, with search by site, buddy, tag, or note - Add the dive site, buddy, gear, notes, and a personal rating - Dives sync from your watch automatically — or all at once, on demand Your watch and iPhone connect directly, on-device — no account, no server, and your logbook leaves only when you share it. Beyond the Measurement Range The depth sensor is built for about 6 meters. Past that, "No Limit" mode silences the depth alerts and shows a calm "beyond range" readout — and the logbook records the dive honestly as "6 m+", with no invented maximum or split. Private by Design All data stays on your devices. No account. No server. No tracking. No ads. Diving requires an Apple Watch with a depth sensor (Ultra, Ultra 2, Series 10, or later); breath-hold training runs on any iPhone. The two sync directly, no internet needed. ShalloWeDive is a reference tool. It does not replace certified equipment, proper training, or safe diving practices. Always dive within your personal limits.
