Feature Request – Ability to Disable Deep Stops on Garmin Descent MK2

Hello,

I would like to submit a feature request regarding the Garmin Descent MK2 dive computer.

Currently, deep stops are automatically applied during dives and cannot be disabled by the user. However, based on current diving practices and recommendations from several training agencies, the systematic use of deep stops is not always desired and, in some cases, is no longer recommended for certain dive profiles.

Point right Requested improvement:
Please add an option allowing users to enable or disable deep stops directly in the dive settings (similar to gradient factors, conservatism, or safety stop settings).

Benefits of this feature:

  • Allows the Descent MK2 to adapt to different decompression philosophies

  • Provides greater control for experienced and technical divers

  • Aligns the MK2 with features offered by other high-end dive computers

  • Enhances flexibility and advanced usability of the Descent MK2

This option could remain disabled by default, with an appropriate warning message, to ensure safe use for recreational divers.

Thank you for considering this request.
The Descent MK2 is an excellent dive computer, and this enhancement would further strengthen its high-end positioning.

Kind regards,
