How to Import Garmin Descent Dives into My Dive Locker

Garmin Descent dives are brought into My Dive Locker through a dive file. There is no Garmin account connection or sync inside My Dive Locker. Export your dive as a FIT file from the Garmin Connect website or the Garmin Dive app, then import the file from the Garmin Descent row. Importing dives from a dive computer is free on every plan.
