WatchDive Turns Apple and Galaxy Watches Into Dive Computers
SEOUL – November 10, 2026 -- DIVEROID's WatchDive, a waterproof housing that turns compatible Apple Watch and Samsung Galaxy Watch models into dive computers, launches on Kickstarter in December 2026, with Super Early Bird rewards starting at US$149.
The South Korean underwater technology company built the system for recreational divers who take only one or two trips a year. Instead of buying a separate dive computer, they can use a smartwatch they already own. CEO Jay Kim says the goal is to "make diving technology more accessible."
WatchDive works as a primary dive computer without a phone
The system combines a waterproof housing, integrated sensors and the DIVEROID app. It shows real-time underwater information without a smartphone connection. It runs the Bühlmann ZHL-16C decompression algorithm, with depth readings accurate to ±0.1 meters, and shows dive calculations and safety information directly on the watch.
