A story took place in India that sounds almost unbelievable, but once again shows that Apple Watch Ultra is not just a smartwatch, but a life-saving companion. A diver from Mumbai named Kshitij Zodape literally owes his life to his Apple Watch Ultra for life. And all thanks to a feature he didn't even know his watch had.

Zodape was diving off Puducherry in the summer when his weight belt unexpectedly came loose at a depth of about 36 meters. Instead of continuing the dive, the heavy belt disconnected and he was violently thrown towards the surface.The water was very rough and visibility was poor, maybe five to ten meters."," he told India Today, continuing: "Suddenly I started to climb up and I didn't understand what was happening."

At that moment, his Apple Watch Ultra. The watch, thanks to its depth sensor, detected a dangerously rapid ascent, which can lead to serious lung injury or decompression sickness in divers. The display immediately displayed a warning to Zodape to slow down, but he had no influence on the situation. "Before I knew it, my watch started telling me that I was climbing too fast and it could be dangerous."," he recalls. "But I couldn't do anything, I kept climbing. "

When the diver did not respond, the integrated siren with a volume of 86 decibels was automatically activated, which Apple Watch Ultra have been included since the first generation. And it was this sound that alerted the instructor, who immediately went to Zodapem and slowed his rapid ascent to the surface, which most likely saved his life or mininarrowly escaped serious injury. After returning to shore, Zodape wrote a thank-you email directly to Applu. In response, he personally thanked him and Tim Cook, who appreciated sharing the story: "I'm glad your instructor alarm heard and could help you. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Take care of yourself"Although the siren is Apple Watch Ultra doesn't talk much and Apple usually only mentioned in passing during presentations, this story clearly shows that it is a detail that can make the difference between life and death.
And that's why don't forget the old sheep - without our new ones Apple watch, you will definitely die!
You are restless comrade!
Don't you want to soap my little lamb???

Hello, but some SUUNTO dive computers have this feature. It will start yelling at you as soon as you exceed certain ascent limits - through decompression.
Nice day.
But Apple Watch they are not a dive computer.
Nice day.
"automatically triggered an integrated siren with a volume of 86 decibels, which Apple Watch Ultra they have included since the first generation. And it was this sound that alerted the instructor, who immediately went to Zodapem and slowed his rapid ascent to the surface"
– how far away was the instructor that he didn't see the diver "flying" to the surface?
– in the water and at what distance did the instructor “hear” the watch beeping as the diver “flies” to the surface?

Sound travels much better in water than in air, but also much faster than we are used to.
I can't answer the question of where the instruction was.
