Did you know that the original pebble smartwatch is waterproof to 50 metres? Well I tested it in my recent dives. I took it down to 28 metres, and it still works without problems. So, I created an app that can help me track my air consumption during my dives.
The app is very simple. When it starts, a timer will show the duration of the dive. You can use the up and down buttons to change the display of air pressure in bar, and the new value will be recorded in a log after a delay of 3 seconds.
To view the log, do a long press on the select button. To reset the time and the log, double-press on the select button, or simply exit the app.
Currently the app is very simple, and the log keeps only the last 10 records.
You can find the app in the pebble app store. If you want to improve it, check the code at: https://github.com/dmollaaliod/scubawatch
Here are a couple of screenshots [Update: the screenshots show the new version that also incorporates compass heading]. I haven't taken it under water yet. Let me know if you find it useful!
I haven't made this version available for the new pebble time series because they can be taken only to 30 metres. So, I may buy a few of the old models. They are much cheaper, and probably more useful for scuba divers.

An update: now scubawatch also incorporates a compass so that you can log your compass headings during your dives. It also has some minor improvements after the feedback that I received, and after trying it in my dives. More feedback welcome!
