No, nor are there any generic air integrated Bluetooth units available at the moment but I expect that to change quickly. A smart play for Apple as the cost of a low-end rec dive computer makes this almost a no-brainer for anyone already in the Apple ecosystem and adding an air integrated unit makes it an easy sell in that market.
- maratc 4y agoBluetooth doesn't work underwater as far as I know.
- wizofaus 4y agoApparently it does but because of the frequency used the signal gets so attenuated that the range is more like 10cm maximum. And both devices would need to be completely submerged.
- Daneel_ 4y agoWireless air systems work in the kHz range, while bluetooth is up in the GHz range unfortunately. I would love to see a system that uses ultra-high frequency noise in combination with the watch microphone, but it's doubtful manufacturers are going to want to support that.
- AdamJacobMuller 4y agoUnlikely they can use bluetooth as the communications methods between the AI pod and the watch are custom and bespoke due to needing to work underwater and be super reliable.
- evgen 4y agoToo bad that this is not a good option. Maybe someone will put a WiFi AP into an air integrated unit to enable connectivity :)
- nradov 4y agoWiFi doesn't work underwater, the signals don't propagate far enough. Most tank pressure transmitters use a different radio frequency band which does penetrate water. The Garmin devices use an audio signal instead.
