Make a splash

Change the look of Descent X10 from dive to dive with new replaceable bezel guards (sold separately). With a variety of colors to choose from including Amp Yellow, Aqua, Purple Iris and Black, these plastic bezel guards add a pop of personality and an extra layer of protection. Along with the included silicone band that fits over a wetsuit, Descent X10 is compatible with optional QuickFit^®bands that come in a wide variety of colors. Descent X10 also supports the dive environment it's built for—100% of the housing and bezel are made with recycled ocean-bound plastics.

Rental mode

Descent X10 is also designed to simplify the process of renting dive computers for dive schools, dive shops and charter operators. With rental mode, the computers can be set up to match diver skill levels and quickly reset between uses. And with the option to add colorful bezel guards, it's easier to keep track of rental inventory.
