Put your dive on screen.
Dive Overlay Studio turns the FIT file from your Garmin dive watch into transparent depth, heart rate, and dive time overlays for your edit. Built for freedivers and spearos.
No card needed. Runs in your browser.
Your dive file never leaves your computer.
Everything is processed right in your browser. Nothing gets uploaded, so your GPS tracks and your spots stay yours.
From your watch to your timeline in three steps
-
Drop in your FIT file
Use the .fit file from your watch, or the zip you get from Export Original in Garmin Connect. Both work.
-
Pick the dive
Every dive in the session is split out for you with its length, max depth, and heart rate, so matching it to your clip takes seconds. Sort by longest, deepest, or time of day.
-
Export and drop it in
You get a transparent QuickTime .mov. Lay it above your clip, line it up with the start of the dive, and you're done.
Pick your readouts. Pick your look.
Turn on only what tells the story of the dive. Drag any readout where you want it and resize it to fit the shot. Then choose from eight styles, from clean and quiet to full dive computer.
- Depth
- Live depth through the whole dive, in feet or meters.
- Heart rate
- Straight from your watch, beat by beat.
- Depth graph
- The full dive profile, with a dot or a diver marker that shows which way you're heading.
- Heart rate graph
- Watch your heart rate fall on the way down.
- Dive time
- A running timer from the moment you leave the surface.
- Dive reflex
- How far your heart rate dropped from the surface.
- Pressure
- The pressure at your depth, in atmospheres.
- Lung volume
- How much your lungs have compressed at depth.
- Vertical speed
- Your descent and ascent rate.
- Water temperature
- Feel the thermocline right on screen.
- Surface interval
- Your recovery time between dives.
Widescreen and vertical
Export for YouTube or go vertical. Vertical mode shows where the Shorts, Reels, and TikTok buttons sit, so nothing hides behind them.
Made for your editor
Exports are transparent QuickTime files that drop right onto your timeline above the footage. Built and tested in Final Cut Pro.
Files that don't eat your drive
Repeated frames are shared and you choose how often the numbers update, so even long dives export small.

Questions
Which watches does it work with?
It's built and tested on the Garmin Descent Mk3. Other Garmin watches that record dives to a FIT file should work too. Use a free export on one of your own dives to check yours.
Which editing apps can I use?
It's built for Final Cut Pro. The export is a standard QuickTime .mov with transparency, which most major video editors can read.
Do you upload my dive data?
No. Your FIT file is read inside your browser and never sent to us. We only store your account and plan details.
Does it work on Mac and Windows?
Yes. It runs in your web browser, so it works on a Mac or a Windows computer. It's made for a laptop or desktop rather than a phone.
What counts as an export?
Each overlay file you download counts as one export. Previewing and adjusting your overlay is always free and unlimited.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel from your account whenever you like and you keep access until the end of the period you paid for.
What does lifetime include?
Every feature and every update for as long as Dive Overlay Studio exists, for one payment.
Is this made by Garmin?
No. Dive Overlay Studio is an independent product and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Garmin.
Your first three overlays are on us.
