A crowdfunding campaign for a new audio freediving and spearfishing dive computer and music player is now underway.
The Depth dive computer allows you to hear configurable audio cues during your dive, collect dive data and more.
Depth uses a bone-conduction speaker paired with custom-designed hardware to bring spoken audio to your dives.
According to Depth developer Grayson Galisky:
“I built Depth because I wanted a simple, intuitive freediving computer that kept me informed about my dive without having to take my eyes away from the underwater world to look at a screen.”
Depth is also a music player, with more than 5,000 songs and 1 million dive logs storable on its 32GB integrated hard drive.
The audio can best be heard when placed near one of your ears under the wetsuit hood, although it can also be heard when placed on top of the head or on the mask strap with an included clip. It’s been tested on “up to 20mm thick of neoprene without issue.”
The Depth has a pressure rating of up to 100 meters (328 feet), and a mobile app will be available for both iOS and Android smartphones and tablets. It will retail for US$349 (~€355), although Kickstarter backers will be able to get it for 35% off.
