Apple’s Ultra watch priced at $799, is the company’s most expensive watch yet. While Ultra works well for diving activities like underwater pool swims or snorkelling, it does not essentially serve the purpose of a dive computer. Its native app ‘Depth’ mainly tells the wearer basic information like water temperature, time, and current and maximum depth. 

 

There is one good news for owners of Ultra – they can now use the watch as a dive computer by pairing it with Apple's Oceanic Plus app that adds seven more metrics to Ultra. Oceanic Plus works as a dive computer that plans, tracks, and reviews up to 40 meters deep dives.


From the surface time, depth, and gas entered by the diver before their dive, the Oceanic Plus app measures a no-decompression time, or the duration estimated for the diver to stay at a given depth. Other information provided by the app includes tides, water temperature, visibility, currents, GPS entry, exit locations, ascent speed, and battery level along with a summary of the dive. In case of reaching the no-decompression limit or ascending too quick, the app also shows color-coded safety warnings.

28 Reasons Why Play Benefits Emotional Health and Development

2020 has certainly been a difficult and trying time for many. Families with young children have had to navigate further difficulties around childcare, working from home and homeschooling. Through it all it is so important to remember to take time to let your children play. Playing with others may not be an option right now but playing within their home, with their imagination, and with parents is imperative in a child's development. 


This graph below displays 28 quotes that represent the benefits of play. For example, Dr. Craigan Usher says “The longer children can enjoy play without the kind of monitoring that leads to self-criticism and self-doubt, the better.” Dr. Stuart Brown says “Play is how we are made, how we develop and adjust to change. It allows us to express our joy and connect most deeply with the best in ourselves and others.”  The National Center on Physical Activity and Disability states, “Expressing feelings through play will allow a child to work through his or her problems, rather than internalizing them. In doing this, the child will be forming a basis for healthy emotional, mental, social, and physical well-being by learning how to manage his or her emotions in a socially acceptable way.”
