x50i still counts wrong dive numbers

4dmin — Sun, 27 Sep 2026 12:54:47 GMT

Why is the Garmin Dive app too stupid to correctly count the dives from the expensive X50i?
I’ve already exchanged half a dozen emails with support and have only answered their questions so far, yet I haven't received a single clue on how to solve the problem.

How am I supposed to rely on a computer and its app when even the simplest things—like sequential numbering—turn out to be an unsolvable issue?

My cumulative dive number in the app is 284 (which is wrong also, and can not be edited) but my last dive was counted as no.104 (which is the number of dives with THIS computer).

Recommendation: Add gas consumption calculation on the App

2975820 — Sat, 26 Sep 2026 12:33:01 GMT

Hello,

I’ve been using a Descent G1 with the Dive app for a couple of years now, and I feel like there is one feature missing on the Dive app.

It would be nice to have Surface Air Consumption displayed automatically as we enter Entry and Exit gas levels - it is super useful to monitor dives and help us improve consumption.

Dive Alarm NDL Limit on Fenix 8

7208400 — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 22:42:11 GMT

Would it be possible to implement a dive alarm on the fenix 8, similar to other Garmin dive computers, that can be set before reaching the NDL limit? This would greatly enhance safety while diving and could be implemented with a simple software update.

Diving Totals with X50i and Mk3i as backup

cermo — Thu, 20 Aug 2026 04:27:27 GMT

Hello community,

recently I found out that my Dive totals (nr of dives and total time) on Garmin Dive app is different then the actual numbers. I found out that since I'm using the X50i as my primary computer with all the T2 transmitters connected as My tanks for the consumption rates and data (on mk3i they are as Another Divers transmitters) my dive totals didn't match. When I opened the web platform of Garmin Connect I found out that all the dives that I kept logged from X50i (I deleted the duplicates downloaded from Mk3i) the number of dives started from 1 (even when on the phone they continued in the number of dives sequence) so the total nr. of dives and total diving time was wrong. When I changed all the nr of dives on the web within each dive activity the Totals are now right. I think it's because X50i cannot be selected as primary wearable and only as Gear for diving. So the phone Garmin Dive app takes "two same dive activities" as the same dive with the same dive number but the totals are calculated from the web platform where the dive numbers are different for each device with which it was uploaded (eg. dive 216 with Mk3i, dive 3 with X50i, dive 217 - Mk3i, dive 4 - X50i would shown in the sequence on the web). I like to have X50i as a primary computer and so far this is the only way that I know to have totals in your dive app correct. Do you know any better way to have the numbers correct without syncing only Mk3i dives (without the consumption rates) ????

I keep getting an error on the dive app saying my g1 device is connected to a different. I have already checked and Im using the same account on garmin connect and garmin dive

My Garmin Descent Mk3i does not automatically sync.

My Garmin Descent Mk3i does not automatically sync so when I go into Connect to see my data it says not enough data and I have to sync.

Question for garmin mk3i (iPhone) users

5049597 — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 10:49:25 GMT

Hey folks,

I currently run an AWU2 and love it, I’ve run AW’s daily since year dot and I find it perfect for my recreational diving so far.

I am however torn and have been toying with the idea of AI so looking at the mk3i (51mm) and happy with all the activity features etc. the battery life is also a big draw.

But trawling through all the reviews and videos it’s hard to see how it performs as an actual smart watch…

So existing users, how are the notifications? Can you interact with them, read and reply to texts, iMessages and WhatsApp etc?

Any other thoughts on the mk3i v the AWU2 that aren’t dive related?

Thanks all.

Export to fit --> app crashes (closes)

Tschens — Fri, 09 Jan 2026 17:18:11 GMT

Whenever I try to export dive to fit format on my iPad pro 2021, the app closes without any error-message.

On my iPhone SE 2020, the export works fine. iOS versions on both devices: 26.2

dive log change..

Diving log failed to set single gas mode and was recorded as free diving. Any workaround?

Dive computer stopped working

4949574 — Wed, 24 Dec 2025 05:51:30 GMT

On a fenix 8 43mm, everything seemed fine until now, finally got to try the dive function.

first dive was fine, everyone worked as expected.

1h surface, second dive. After less than 5 minutes, I felt a vibration on my wrist, briefly saw a “end dive” sign, then back to the dive screen, but depth stuck at 5 meters, dive time still running but all other options frozen

now been out of the water for another hour, impossible to quit the dive screen.

Not sure if my fenix has a build problem ?

Convert/Import external dives (from UDDF, CSV, etc into FIT)

GTBrandon — Mon, 06 Oct 2025 00:38:28 GMT

I'm looking to see if anyone has written a script that converts UDDF or CSV files into FIT files, so they can be uploaded into Garmin Connect/Dive?

I have already downloaded the Fit CSV Tool via the Fit SDK app, but this will only work if the CSV is formatted correctly in the way that Garmin expects. The background here is that I exported my old dives from the Oceanic app as UDDF, and then imported them into Subsurface. Afterwards I cleaned up some of the dive data, and finally exported all the dives as a CSV file from Subsurface.

I'm hoping that someone might have found a way to easily convert external dive files (either CSV, UDDF, or another file type) into FIT files so they can be loaded into Garmin. Thanks!

Dive number with x50i

4dmin — Sun, 07 Sep 2025 19:42:03 GMT

Where can I enter the correct number of dives?

I changed from mk3i where the numbers were correct to x50i, which started from number 1 again. Now I have to edit every dive in the dive app cause it is not counting correct.

Diver performance evolution

gradassipaolo — Sun, 10 Aug 2025 13:21:03 GMT

Hello,

All the information available on the Dive App are great and I was wondering if it was possible to add some analysis tool to allow to track things like:

- The evolution of the SAC rate (maybe filtering by environmental conditions - e.g. with or without current)

- The evolution of the weight needed (maybe filtering by equipment - e.g. weight needed with a dry suit or with a wet suit)

I am trying to extract these information from Garmin Connect or directly from the Dive app and then add them to an excel file to perform the analyses but it requires me to add all the information manually while they are already available in the app. It's a bit of a time waste.

Thanks Garmin

Duplicate Dive Not Working

DerDembo — Wed, 30 Jul 2025 20:01:03 GMT

In an attempt to digitize my analog logbook into Garmin Dive I attempted using the Duplicate function since I do have quite a few dives done at the same location at different times (sometimes years apart). However I cannot get it to work: If I duplicate an existing dive it opens the dive and if I modify e.g. the date and save it, no modified copy of the original dive is created but the original dive is modified.

Am I doing something wrong? And is there a way to duplicate existing dives using Garmin Dive for iOS?

Dive Site - add new site by

rgilvert — Sat, 19 Jul 2025 12:15:05 GMT

Dear Garmin..

had been a while since the topic was raised but not resolved.

It would be really great to have the function of adding new dive sites (especially when we dive with GPS enabled).

now it pre-populates the dive site to the nearest know (even if that is 50km away)!!

Would be great if you let the community know that this on on your JIRA Backlog and prioritise the ticket ;)

Thanks,

René

Twin-set function

5714415 — Sat, 05 Jul 2025 14:45:13 GMT

In the garmin Dive app, is there a function for twin-set dives or we just need to multiply the cylinder capacity by 2?

thanks

Dive Site search functionality broken

devine.adventures — Fri, 04 Jul 2025 14:22:32 GMT

The search functionality when adding a dive site is quite broken. I will search for a dive site, e.g. “palancar” in Cozumel, I’ll get results that don’t even start with P or have any association to the string palancar, result locations will be nowhere near my gps started/ended the dive too. Then if I delete the string from the search bar and rewrite “palancar” 3-5 more times, eventually the app will start showing relevant results.

Dive Log data lost when switching to new phone

2807175 — Sun, 22 Jun 2025 08:15:25 GMT

Multiple times now I’ve lost my dive log history when getting a new iPhone. I’m using the same exact account and login- but it makes me select my dive count over again and there’s no history. We’re talking years pf dive data and dive site notes I use professionally.

None of the previous posts on this topic offer any solutions and I don’t know how to get in touch with Garmin directly. Posting a new thread with the hopes there’s new information on this topic or someone can share how to get in touch with the right folks at garmin.

dive not shown in Dive app(but shows in connect)

9502833 — Tue, 27 May 2025 20:24:29 GMT

Hello,

I did a couple of dives with my Garmin Descent G1. Most of them synced fine, but one is not shown in Dive app. It is however listed in garmin connect, but when i try to open it it redirects to Dive and it shows 'Something went wrong' message. Any ideas?

Thanks

Removing Non Logged Dive Time

1535316 — Mon, 21 Apr 2025 11:54:28 GMT

When I first downloaded the Dive App I added in ‘non logged’ dives. I have since added in these dives. Now my total dive time is showing double. How do I clear this ‘non logged’ dive time. Thanks
