If you've had your eye on a Garmin Descent dive computer, now is the perfect time to invest. Mike's Dive Store has slashed prices across three of Garmin's most popular dive products — the flagship Descent X50i, the eco-conscious Descent X30, and the game-changing Descent T2 Transceiver. These are some of the most capable dive computers on the market, and for a limited time, they're available at their lowest prices yet.


Whether you're a recreational diver looking for your first serious wrist computer, or a technical diver demanding advanced decompression data and multi-tank air integration, there's a Garmin Descent built for you — and a saving waiting to be had.

Garmin Descent X50i

The Ultimate Big-Screen Dive Computer


The Garmin Descent X50i is the dive computer that refuses to compromise. With a stunning 3-inch vibrant colour touchscreen display, it puts more information in front of your eyes than any other wrist dive computer — and makes every piece of data immediately legible, even at depth. If you've been waiting for the right moment to invest in Garmin's flagship, a £130 saving is a compelling reason to act now.

A Display That Changes Everything

The large colour touchscreen isn't just a style statement — it fundamentally changes how you interact with your dive data. Critical information like the projected ascent dive profile and your in-dive depth chart are presented clearly at a glance. Above the surface, the touchscreen makes setup effortless. Underwater, you navigate using the leakproof metal buttons.

Advanced Air Integration

Pair the X50i with Garmin Descent T2 Transceivers (also on sale — see below) to monitor up to eight tanks simultaneously via SubWave sonar technology. Tank pressure, air time remaining, and consumption rate are all visible on your wrist, giving you a complete picture of your dive team's air supply at a glance.

Built for Technical Depth

A sapphire lens, integrated backup dive light, 20 ATM dive rating, and leakproof metal buttons mean the X50i is ready for the most demanding technical dives. NDL Aware depth metrics, ascent dive profiles, sidemount tank switch guidance, and setup sharing with a backup dive computer make it the complete package for serious divers.


  • 3-inch vibrant colour touchscreen display
  • 20 ATM (200m) dive-rated with leakproof buttons
  • SubWave sonar diver messaging up to 30 metres
  • Air integration for up to 8 tanks via T2 Transceiver
  • DiveView colour maps with depth contours for 4,000+ sites
  • NDL Aware depth metrics for extended bottom time
  • Integrated backup dive light
  • Stores and shares up to 200 dive logs via Garmin Dive app
  • Surface GPS for marking entry and exit points
  • Setup sharing with compatible backup dive computer

Garmin Descent X30

Performance Meets Eco-Conscious Design


The Garmin Descent X30 delivers serious dive computer performance in a thoughtfully designed package — now available at £90 off. Featuring a vibrant 2.4-inch colour display, four large leakproof metal buttons, and up to 30 hours of battery life, the X30 is built for extended dive trips and those who want full capability without the flagship price tag.

Durable, Readable, Ready

With four large, easy-to-use leakproof buttons that work even with thick diving gloves, the X30 is designed for real-world diving conditions. The flip-screen mode lets you orient the buttons on top if preferred. Navigate custom dive screens with up to three data fields per page, and stay informed with audible and vibration alerts.

Eco-Friendly Without Compromise

The Descent X30 is the first Garmin dive computer to use 100% recycled ocean-bound plastics in its housing and bezel. That's an environmental statement that doesn't come at the cost of durability — this is a rugged, 10 ATM dive-rated computer built to handle tough conditions across multiple dive profiles, including trimix.

Smart Dive Planning Tools

NDL Aware depth metrics work in real time to show how depth changes affect your no-decompression limit, helping you safely extend your bottom time. Surface interval tracking helps you plan multiple dives in a day, and inReach connectivity (when paired with a compatible inReach satellite communicator and dive case) allows you to trigger an SOS above the surface.


  • 2.4-inch vibrant colour display
  • 10 ATM dive-rated with 4 large leakproof metal buttons
  • Support for single- and multi-gas profiles, including trimix
  • NDL Aware depth metrics for real-time bottom time optimisation
  • Surface GPS for entry and exit point marking
  • 3-axis digital underwater compass
  • Water thermometer for thermocline detection
  • 100% recycled ocean-bound plastic housing and bezel
  • Up to 30 hours battery life
  • Compatible with 26mm QuickFit bands including bungee mount
  • inReach connectivity for above-surface SOS
  • Setup sharing with compatible Descent dive computers

Garmin Descent T2 Transceiver

Complete Air Integration & Diver Messaging


The Garmin Descent T2 Transceiver transforms any compatible air-integrated Descent dive computer into a complete dive team command centre. Now £40 off, it's the accessory that completes the picture — letting you track tank pressure, monitor your team, and even exchange messages underwater, all from your wrist.

Every Tank, Every Buddy, on Your Wrist

Mount a T2 on each tank in your group and monitor up to eight transceivers simultaneously from your compatible Descent dive computer. For each tank you can see air pressure, depth, use rate, and time remaining — giving you and your team an unprecedented level of situational awareness and safety.

SubWave Sonar Technology

Garmin's enhanced SubWave sonar technology is what makes underwater communication possible. It operates within a range of up to 10 metres for tank pressure monitoring and up to 30 metres for diver-to-diver messaging with Descent Mk3i computers. No cables, no complications.

Diver Messaging Underwater

When paired with the Descent X50i or other air-integrated Descent computer, the T2 Transceiver enables the exchange of preformatted diver-to-diver messages with other networked buddies — a first for recreational and technical diving. It's a safety net and a convenience, all in one compact device.


  • Monitor up to 8 tanks simultaneously underwater
  • Displays air pressure, depth, use rate, and time remaining per tank
  • SubWave sonar range: 10m for tank data, 30m for diver messaging
  • Preformatted diver-to-diver messaging with Descent Mk3i computers
  • 20 ATM (200m) dive-rated
  • Wireless area networking for easy buddy identification
  • Compatible with Descent X50i and other air-integrated Descent computers
