Shearwater Peregrine recreational dive computer - New!

Literally just a short while ago, Shearwater Research Inc. a renowned manufacturer of measuring devices for divers, announced the launch of a new computer. The newest model has been named Peregrine and, contrary to previously known products of the Canadian brand, has been created with recreational divers in mind.

The premiere of the Shearwater Peregrine was scheduled for Thursday, July 23, and announced at the same time by diving media around the world. According to the press materials provided by the manufacturer, we already know that the latest computer with the Shearwater logo was intended to be a unit characterised by simplicity and ease of use. The device also has a colour display and allows the use of several types of breathing mixtures.

Peregrine allows the user to use one of four modes during the dive: Air, Nitrox, 3 Gas Nitrox and Gauge. With simplified recreational diving modes, a built-in dive planner and wireless charging, the Peregrine is sure to become a great companion for your diving adventures.

“Shearwater being available at a lower price is a great concept, but we had to do everything we could to ensure that the cost reduction did not damage the excellent reputation of our brand. The fantastic screen, high durability and simplicity that characterises the use of the unit were obviously non-negotiable. We managed to find a way out by using the available solutions. We used, for example, the screen from the Perdix, or the buttons from the Terica. We also removed some advanced functions dedicated to technical diving, as well as the digital compass. However, we managed to achieve a result that we can, with full responsibility and conviction, sign the Shearwater logo remains.” – said T yler Coen, Director of Engineering at Shearwater

The firmware is based on the recreational 3-gas nitrox mode known from the Perdix model. In addition, an even simpler single-gas mode has been added, as well as a depth gauge mode, making the Peregrine a great backup unit for divers just starting out in technical diving.

Partial specification:

• User configurable display,
• Bühlmann ZHL-16C algorithm with gradient factors,
• depth measurement up to 120 m,

The Shearwater Peregrine promises to be an extremely interesting dive computer that offers the diver everything they need, at the highest possible quality and affordable price. The unit is also a great addition to Shearwater’s range, where every diver should find something for themselves.
