How is it possible to watch the heart rate of a dive?

Hi, how is it possible to watch the heart rate during a dive and in the dive log? I use the watch directly on the wrist when I wear a wet suit and an Hrm-pro when I use a dry suit.

Thank you in advance, Vito

You can only see live HR during a dive if you are only using your optical sensor. Your HRM strap can't communicate through water, even in a dry suit. You will still see your HRM readings for your recorded activity since your HRM-Pro will use the store and forward ability to provide your heart rate when you save the dive.

Thank you very much Chris, but I can't see this information in the Garmin dive app. Where can I find it?

If not seeing it, you will need to manually download the Heart Rate data and then it will show on your Garmin Connect account instead.

Today ik tried it with the G1 and a Polar H10 strap. But what type of connection works better? Bluetooth or ANT+? I dive with a 5mm dry-suit in Holland. So will connect Bluetooth better of will connect ANT+ better while wearing the dry-suit?

Yes, you can read the HR from the wrist HR sensor underwater in real-time.

If you use a HRM strap, you need one supporting the feature Store & Forward (i.e. HRM-Pro), because the transmission does not work underwater, regardless whether you use a dry suite or not. HRMs with the Store & Forward functionality transfer the data to the watch after the dive.
