Requesting Diver Assistance

WARNING

Assistance is a supplemental feature and should not be relied upon as a primary method to obtain emergency assistance. Your device cannot contact emergency services on your behalf.

If your are in distress during a dive, you can send a message requesting help to the other members of your dive network.

  1. Hold LIGHT until you are prompted to release it for assistance.

    After a brief countdown, a request for help will be sent every two minutes. On Descent™ Mk3i - 51 mm models, the flashlight on your watch will also flash in a distress pattern.

  2. If necessary, hold LIGHT to cancel the request for help.

    A message indicating you are okay is sent to the other members of your dive network.
