Hello, after the apple event I was stoked to find out I could take my Apple Watch diving with me, but I wanted to go a step further. I am attempting to build a companion dive app to my SUUNTO Eon Core as a backup. The only issue is when I try to find where to get a depth reading from the new Apple Watch Ultra sensor, I can't find any documentation. I've been digging around in sensor kit and nothing has caught my eye. Does anyone have any idea where the documentation for it would be? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

Dear all, I apologise cause I am a newbie here.

I am interested in getting an Ultra watch under the condition that I can attempt to develop an app that interacts with the depth sensor and the like. Precisely, I would like to access submersion time (in real time) and other metrics to develop computations that can aid freedivers. I understand from some posts here and there, that APIs are restricted and an entitlement is required that is still unavailable. However, most messages are 5/6 months old, so I am wondering if this is still the case or not.

Under these circumstances I would rather wait to spend 1.000 USD to get the watch, at least until this is fixed.

Thanks
