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.

U-Dive is an Apple Watch companion for freediving and snorkel training. Put on your watch, get in the water — it handles the rest. ◆ On Apple Watch • Automatic submersion & dive detection — recording starts hands-free • Live depth and water temperature (depth display capped at 6 m in this release) • Continuous heart-rate recording during dives — watch your mammalian dive reflex • Surface-interval timer with haptic surfacing alert • Custom depth alerts with haptic feedback • Personal max-depth record notifications • GPS entry/exit coordinates for every dive • Action Button support: start a session, flag a dive, review history • Auto Water Lock — long-press the crown to end & save • Built-in dive simulator to try the full flow on dry land ◆ On iPhone • Dive-spot map with favorites, notes and custom icons • Import Google My Maps layers (KML) • Paste a Google Maps share link to create a spot • Full dive log: depth profile, heart rate, duration and coordinates • Share and export your dives ◆ About Lite This release uses Apple's shallow-depth API: depth display is capped at 6 m, while time, heart rate and GPS keep recording beyond it. A full-depth version is in progress. ◆ Requirements • Depth and auto dive detection require an Apple Watch Ultra (depth gauge) • Other Apple Watch models work in manual mode (HR, GPS, timers, log) • The iPhone app manages spots and logs; the watch app runs independently ◆ Safety This app is not a dive computer and must not be used for dive safety or decompression decisions. Not for scuba diving. Freediving is dangerous — never dive alone, follow one-up-one-down, and get certified training.
