🌊 Your iPhone is Now the Ultimate Dive Computer: Our Work on iGills
Â
For years, divers have carried separate devices for every underwater need: a computer, a camera, a compass, and a logbook. We are thrilled to share an update on our work on the iGills dive computer app—the intelligent software core of a system that consolidates all of that functionality, transforming your iPhone into the most feature-rich dive computer the world has ever seen.
The iGills system is a fusion of two powerful elements: a rugged, professional-grade waterproof housing and a sophisticated app that harnesses the full power of your iPhone. The result is a seamless and intuitive underwater experience.
The housing itself is an engineering marvel, depth rated to an incredible 200 feet (60 meters), ensuring your device is safe as you explore the depths. But the true revolution happens on the screen.
Our focus has been on perfecting the app to deliver the critical functions that divers depend on, building upon the features pioneered in the previous, groundbreaking iGills model:
-
Full Dive Computer: The app provides comprehensive, real-time dive data at a glance. Track your current depth, no-decompression limit (NDL), ascent rate, water temperature, and manage safety stops with clear, intuitive alerts. It’s mission control for your dive, right on the screen you use every day.
-
Automatic Digital Logbook: Forget manual logging. As soon as you surface, your entire dive profile is automatically saved. The digital logbook records your max depth, dive time, GPS entry/exit points, and more, creating a rich, detailed history of your underwater adventures.
-
Full-Featured Underwater Camera: Leverage the incredible power of your iPhone’s camera to capture stunning underwater photos and videos. The iGills app provides a simple interface to switch between modes, so you never miss a shot.
-
Integrated Digital Compass: Navigate with confidence using the large, easy-to-read digital compass. It’s fully integrated into the dive display, allowing for precise and reliable navigation without needing a separate instrument.
By creating a system where the hardware and software are developed in perfect harmony, iGills delivers a level of integration and functionality that was previously unimaginable. We are proud to continue developing this pioneering technology, putting the future of dive computing directly into your hands.
