I just purchased the Perdix 2. An overkill for rec divers but I wanted ai. It’s too bad Shearwater doesn’t make a Peregrine with ai to hit the “sweet spot” for 80% of divers. It’s a great computer and I’m enjoying it…
Hello Its easy to update some firmware? (when Its some new), all work with bluetooth between PC and computer? I have now iX3M and I am thinking about new iX3M2 or shearwater perdix 2
Just bought one to replace my Peregrine ( got humidity issues ) , used it for the first time today and my backup one is a Perdix AI BOTH are great but the vibration feature on the Perdix 2 is very important specially as i use it as a safety (15 mns ) for my dive time because most of them are over 70 m with a result of long TTS before switching to Nitrox 80% ( ADP Dives ) . For sure Shearwater as a winner
I bought one and it is by far the best one I have owned. This is my third. For me, the screen and interface is one of the best features. Very easy to set up and read under all conditions. Well worth the money for me.
I wish they’d just add air integration to the Peregrine – that’d be a perfect dive computer for loads of people. I’ve got the Perdix AI, and it’s AMAZING, but I don’t need the tech features…
#askmark how to check the swift transmitter’s emitted remaking gas ?
It has a LED that blinks green when it transmit. Red when there is an issue. On the computer if it doesn’t receive an update it will go from yellow to red to a on screen warning if it doesn’t get a transmission within an interval.
https://youtu.be/aZ0pB9K5v9M Check out YouTube Dive Talk episode “Shearwater SWIFT Transmitters In-Depth Review” 👍👍👍
When it comes to your dive computer do you switch it from air mode to nitrox mode depending on the dive, or do you keep it in nitrox mode and change the o2 %? I prefer the latter, and assume either way its conservative enough to be safe.
I think I am looking at the my next dive computer 👍
My Perdix AI is nearly 7 years old and has been solid. What is nice is continual flow of firmware updates, which added new features/colours/4 cylinders etc.
Mark, I have a question, you said 1.5v Lithium AA batteries OR 3.7v Lithium rechargeable batteries…but the 1.5v AA and the 3.7v (18650) are different sizes. Do they both work in the Perdix 2?
There are smaller 3.7v lithium rechargeable batteries, the battery size is 14500. Some double AA lights support them.
Shearwater recommends AA Lithium (3.6v) over alkaline (1.5v) to ensure function of the vibration alerts. I’ve used Energizer Lithium in my older Perdix AI and battery life is amazing. I have never used rechargeable because of reliability issues, but others have had good luck with them.
Great video Mark, as always.
Besides the Ti, vibration feature, the buttons, and the tempered upgraded glass… is there any other new features, especially software wise, that justifies switching from a Perdix AI to the Perdix 2?
Thanks a lot for your great content.
No, they run the same software.
@Team Peg Leg They actually forked the software and only new features and updates are going into the 2 moving forward. (as of firmware 93 I believe)
@mooooo new features that require new hardware yes. But Shearwater has been using the same firmware for a very long time. I highly doubt that would change now. And if it did the version number would be lower like with the Teric.
@mooooo My understanding is that some FW versions that do note affect the AI are skipped for that particular model, but by no means has firmware development ended for the AI (or the non-AI), as they share a common firmware base. For example v91 & v92 only affected Perdix 2 and Petrel 3, where as v93 was for all models including NERD 2. To date, V93 is the latest for AI and non-AI, and V95 for the newer variants.
I’m going to buy this computer. Not because I’m a technical diver, but because it has air integration, a built-in well-functioning tilt-compensating compass, a personalizable home screen, and it’s a computer that might last the entirety of my diving career. Buy once, have everything you need and never think about needing to upgrade it. It will be my first, and hopefully my last, Shearwater purchase.
I have the silver version of the perdix 2. I absolutely love it. So easy to use and edit nitrox. Just amazing.
@David Ashmore B Awesome! I have only heard good things about the predator, petrel and perdix, so I think this might be their best model so far terms or longevity!
You are buying the best DC!
You will be happy till the end of your diving days 😉
How much for this dive computer?
@Sofiane Sofiane the previous model costs bezween 800-900€
But i don‘t know the prices now.
Economic crisis may have changed them
I personally have the Perdix 1 and it’s by far the nicest computer I’ve used, I’m looking into doing Technical courses, ontop of just ‘fun diving’ and teaching.
Great video as always, and I’ll be saving up for one of these to replace the Perdix AI I have and use that as a backup for tech courses I think
I have one it is an amazing computer. My last computer was a different brand and about 6 years old
