“We are honored to be selected by Popular Science with the Best
of What’s New Award that acknowledges innovation and celebrates the

made possible by the Descent Mk2i and Descent T1’s air integration
system. This award is a testament to the Garmin dive team’s
commitment to setting the standard for extended range and

Editor-in-Chief Corinne Iozzio. "Despite the supply chain
challenges making headlines in 2021, breakthroughs across all our

possibilities. This collection, which includes everything from an
artificial intelligence mapping more-efficient airline routes to
mountain-bike shocks that adjust themselves on the fly, is full of
items we’re proud to dub the Best of What's New."
Designed by divers for divers, the Descent Mk2i dive computer

the Descent Mk2i and Descent T1 ideal for buddy teams and
instructors.
