{"product_id":"garmin-descent-s1-buoy","title":"Garmin Descent S1 Buoy","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Garmin Descent S1 Buoy connects a surface crew with divers in the Garmin SubWave sonar network. From the Garmin Dive app, the crew can monitor supported dive information, track each diver’s approximate range from the buoy and exchange preset messages. These functions require compatible Garmin dive computers paired with Descent T2 transceivers, which are not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKeep the surface crew connected\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMonitor the dive group:\u003c\/strong\u003e view information such as tank pressure and depth from compatible equipment.
