Apple and Oceanic have teamed up to make Apple Watch Ultra an advanced dive computer with a new app that’s now available. It’s also user-friendly and works for snorkeling and surface swimming along with diving. Here’s how to get the Oceanic+ app, what features are included, pricing details, and more.

While Oceanic+ might sound like an app for serious divers, Oceanic highlights that it’s great for casual snorkeling or diving too and is “refreshingly easy to use.”

“The new Oceanic+ app for Apple Watch Ultra turns the watch you wear every day into a fully capable dive computer for recreational diving and snorkeling. It includes all the core features divers need, and is refreshingly easy to use.”

However, it also offers advanced features for seasoned divers like an advanced planner, built-in Variometer, decompression details, GPS-enhanced post-dive logbook, and more.
