I have to raise my hand to that! I bought a Teric not long ago and I can’t wait to dive with it. Looking forward to your Peregrine review as well. Shearwater are fantastic computers!
They really are! We're big fans of their whole business plan from quality to packaging and customer support. Let us know how the Teric does! We've never had one.
Thanks for the great video. Appreciate it very much. Recently ordered the Shearwater Peregrine. I’ll be starting a PADI Open Water Dive Course and I thought I’d like to have a basic and reliable dive computer for a start. I took the NAUI basic diving course in the mid 70s but didn’t dive much after getting certified. And I realized now-after hibernating from diving for decades-that I’ve been overtaken by events and state-of-the-art technology in diving.
Awesome! Hope you enjoy your course🤙 welcome back to the fun
I really love mine. I'd been waiting for a computer manufacturer to see the need for a large screen color computer that caters to the rec diver for a while and putting off purchasing a new one in hope of that one would magically appear. I bought the Peregrine the day it came out. So far only 14 dives on it but for me it's worth that price and more. My eyes have a few miles on them so reading the computer easily was my #1 concern. CHECK! I could read the Peregrine easily without using the gauge readers stuck in my mask. Color contrast is as important as size for me. Easy to navigate through menus to set up for different gases. Totally love the bluetooth for easy logbook entries. Easy to check on nitrogen loading and CNS clock. I'm strictly a recreational diver staying in the 130' depth range as a maximum and tec diving is definitely not in my future so the Perdix and several other tec adaptable computers really don't make sense for me. The elephant in the room is the AI/compass issue. Yes...that would be really nice but now I have to consider price. In the US (I understand in other countries it is not the same) the closest competitor in features (with large color screen) is the Suunto Eon Core at nearly double the price. Triple if you get a transmitter to use the AI feature. So at $450, I can happily use my old analog pressure gauge and compass. Great channel BTW, really enjoying the content!!
Hello Brad!
Wow what a fantastic review of your experience so far with the computer, I can't wait to have mine and start diving with him. Several of your points are critical for me by the time to choose a computer (other than the price for the Peregrine). The color contrast in my case helps a lot while doing cave diving because is retro-illuminated all the time and is fantastic. While diving several times a day guiding clients the CNS/Nitrogen load bar give me a quick view of how I´m doing without start thinking about time, NDL, minutes left etc, the CNS bar is very helpful. Maybe tec is not on your mind yet but you never know, maybe some easy deco dives not very deep but just to enjoy a wreck at 120´ with air as a bottom gas and Nitrox 40 (still recreational limit) to clean the Deco while ascending, of course with the training necessary , is allowed now with the Peregrine and not with a 1200$ computer.
Thanks for your comment, really happy to see you are enjoying the computer, keep diving and keep telling us about your diving experiences.
Dive safe.
Aitor
A very well structured review sir!
Thanks for your comment! I´m glad you like it.
Great review
Great review thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Great Review, I love my Peregrine
Good to hear!! I really love the brand and the products they have, not only that, customer service if you have any problem is amazing !!
Enjoy your computer!!
Great video. Thanks.
Thanks so much for watching! Did you get yourself one of these computers?
Epic Review ! I just Order it a few days ago, I can't be more excited! I hope someday dive with you guys!
PD: Spanish is my first language I just catch "For exam plo". 5:40 De por Ejemplo.. jejej suele pasarme también. Muchos saludos! =)
jajaja ups pues si se me escapa un por ejemplo en el video!! Pues cuando te llegue tu Peregrine espero que este a la altura de tus expectativas, aunque conociendo la marca como la conozco, seguro que si!! Cuéntanos que te parece cuando le des unos cuantos buceos.
Saludos
Good review even I was expecting something on Gradient Factor function..
Hello Antonio!
Thanks for your comment, I was struggling with the idea of going more in detail about the Gradient Factors of the Peregrine and at the end I decided not to explain something this technical on the video, but some people asked me on private and this is what I answer to a couple of them:
The basic decompression algorithm used by the Peregrine is Bühlmann ZHL-16C. It has been modified by the use of Gradient Factors that were developed by Erik Baker. The manufacturer used his ideas to create
their own code to implement it.
The computer implements Gradient Factors creating varied levels of conservatism. The levels of conservatism are pairs of numbers like 30/70. If you haven't read it, have a look to those articles from Erik Baker: “Clearing Up The Confusion About Deep Stops” and “Understanding M-values”.
The default conservatism of the system in all dive modes is medium (40/85).
The system provides settings that are more aggressive and more conservative than the default. So is amazing that you can modify the GF on a so call "recreational computer".
Let me know if you want some more info!
Aitor
Gracias por tus comentarios, lo compre hace poco y espero que me funcione por un largo tiempo.
Cuando empieces a usarlo, cuéntame que tal te esta funcionando! Yo intentare is a España en un par de meses y tengo el mío allí esperándome.
Un saludo y disfruta tu Peregrine!
Just made my first dive (cold water / drysuite) with my brand new Peregrine and (coming from a Suunto) really love it!! This is really so much better and user friendly and much easier to watch underwater. And the app is great as well no issues at all with wireless bluetooth connectivity with my Ipad and old iphone7 I really like the graphics when watching it on my ipad and like the way you can easily add all kinds of info...👌👌
I don’t miss anything (yet) but do need to make some additional dives of course for a ‘final verdict’ 😎
Hi there!!
That's great , I getting a lot of good feedbacks from the Peregrine, the interface is very easy and intuitive and wait to do night dives or dives in very bas visibility conditions, the screen helps a lot to check the info without using. torch or pressing any buttons etc.
Where did you dove for the first time with the Peregrine?? BTW if you check the comments on this video is a couple of them very interesting about the Gradient Factors of the computer.
Have a nice day and enjoy your computer!!
Aitor.
@@AzulUnlimited In a lake near Amsterdam called 'Vinkeveense Plassen' @ 20 meters, visibilty quite good this time of the year... around 6-8 meters, temp 11C ... vibration worked well but in a drysuit it's a bit hard to feel
Que bueno que están los subtítulos en castellano disponibles.
Iremos subiendo subtítulos al resto de videos poco a poco, dime si hay alguno que te interese en especial y empiezo por ese!
Thanks very much and a great review. I like the features but prefer a puck style so not sure whether to replace my trusty Vyper yet.
Vypers are great! If it's working, stick with it.
@@AzulUnlimited saw it for real at the UK dive show and it looks much better than I'd thought so may go for it after all. Thanks 👌
@@michaelmuir4548 Rad! Let us know how you like it!
Hola, primeramente gracias por el video. Queria consultarte si esta computadora tiene alerta de vibración por exceso de velocidad de ascenso? Gracias
Hola Daniel! gracias por tu comentario... las alertas por vibración son muy programables en esta computadora, se le puede configurar para la velocistas de ascenso y con varias velocidades. Es una muy buena opción como computador recreativo con opción a la iniciación al buceo técnico .
Very interesting review. I like a lot the peregrine, it's a pity that I just bought a new vyper novo a few time ago. I'd buy the peregrine if it had seen the light sooner
Well the Vyper is also a great computer, we have 4 of them here at the shop for our students, to use on the ow course and advance! But I agree with you, maybe once we need to renew the computer we will go for the Peregrine.
@@AzulUnlimited yeah it's a good option, I already used it for some multi gases diving and it's quite easy to use. I hope that when my vyper will crash, there will be more interesting computers on the market, I mean, I hope it lasts for a long time lol. I came from a cressi Leonardo that lasted for 3 years till screen numbers started to disappear, a very simple and cheap computer for newbies. But what I really like from Peregrine is the Bulhman zhl16c with customizable gradient factors with a so interesting price.
@@jaume1978 yeah once you do some technical diving the Algorithm matters and finding the possibility of Bulhman zhl16c with customizable gradient factors in a "recreational" computer at that price is something really really interesting.
Hey Aitor, I am not too sure if you mentioned it but what about the gf factors ? Are they up in peregrine ? Amazing review, cheers, for as usual amazing content !

Hi Leo, yeah I didn't mention it on the video because I don't think recreational divers will understand what doesn't means but here we go:
The basic decompression algorithm used by the Peregrine is Bühlmann ZHL-16C. It has been modified by the use of Gradient Factors that were developed by Erik Baker. The manufacturer used his ideas to create
their own code to implement it.
The computer implements Gradient Factors creating varied levels of conservatism. The levels of conservatism are pairs of numbers like 30/70. If you haven't read it Leo, have a look to those articles from Erik Baker: “Clearing Up The Confusion About Deep Stops” and “Understanding M-values”.

The system provides settings that are more aggressive and more conservative than the default. So is amazing that you can modify the GF on a so call "recreational computer".
Thant´s why I believe this computer is gonna be on the top 3 for recreational and even basic technical dives.
Un fuerte brazo amigo!
@@AzulUnlimited gracias Aitor !!!!
Indeciso entre el peregrine y el perdix Ai. I don’t care about Ai at lest for me cause I do have a teric and I also dive double pero un backup para tec simpre es necesario y el peregrine seria bueno pero mi esposa también bucea y ella usa single mount OC configuration so perdix Ai would be a plus for her
las dos son buenas y tienen su uso pero puedes ahorrar dinero si compras un backup que, durante buceos recreativos sirve para la compu de ella.
How does this link to your tank? I seen unboxings and it doesn't come with the piece the goes on your tank...I'm confused
Hi there! Unfortunately the Peregrine is not compatible with IA (Integrated Air) system. The IA is a wireless system that works in combination with a transducer installed on the HP port on the first stage of the regulator.
The Peregrine cannot be connected to any transducer but other models from the same brand include that feature. Let me know if you need more indo or send us a message on Instagram.
Saludos!!
How about gradient factors?
Hello Dick, let me copy here and answer from another friend of the channel, he asks pretty much the same as you, wondering about the gradient factors:
The basic decompression algorithm used by the Peregrine is Bühlmann ZHL-16C. It has been modified by the use of Gradient Factors that were developed by Erik Baker. The manufacturer used his ideas to create
their own code to implement it.
The computer implements Gradient Factors creating varying levels of conservatism. The levels of conservatism are pairs of numbers like 30/70. If you haven't read it you should, is a really interesting article, have a look at those articles from Erik Baker: “Clearing Up The Confusion About Deep Stops” and “Understanding M-values”.
The default conservatism of the system in all dive modes is medium (40/85).
The system provides settings that are more aggressive and more conservative than the default. So is amazing that you can modify the GF on a so-called "recreational computer".
I hope that helps you, but yep give it a read to the articles.
Aitor I like your videos. Are you Basque?
Hi there!
My family is from the north of Spain but I grow up in Andalucia, Jaen is my hometown but I left Spain 11 years ago to work as a diver.
I been very inactive on the channel for the last few months but I´m coming back soon with new videos!
Thanks for watching tho!
@@AzulUnlimited Thanks for being out there
@@AzulUnlimited I'll bet you make the best paella in Indonesia.
@@maxkol4380 is only one way to find out hehehehe.... we should get along for a good Spanish food after diving!
@@AzulUnlimited If that's an invitation to dive in Indonesia and eat paella afterwards I accept;-)))
Also, Shearwater is the only brand with Aqualung who still release Dive Computer. Scubapro, Suunto, Mares, nothing release since 2018.
For me, those company doesn't care about you. Because their dive computer have lot of issues who need to be fix with a new product.
Go Shearwater. They seem more pro than other brand.
That's true, other brands has been stuck for a while and looks like Shearwater is the only one pushing and moving forward, also amazing customer service and response!
So far so good...but no AI ?! WHY?!
Por que????
@@AzulUnlimited Hey Aitor.
Dive computer without Air Integration is...ahm...crippled somehow. I mean: for tec divers it is irrelevant anyway - they rely on physical gauges and are already very advanced, + they use something like Perdix 2.
But this TC is made for beginners and air integration is the best way to monitore and improve the air consumption, it takes a lot of workload from the beginner diver (imho) letting them train other skills like buoyancy etc.
@@vnoockthebrain Sorry, I didn't understand what you meant by AI 😆 Artificial intelligence. I'm dumb.
@@AzulUnlimited Air Integration...Integrated Air...potato-potato =)))
No you are not dumb, my friend!
@@vnoockthebrain A beginner diver should absolutely not rely on AI. The should learn the basic skills and competencies without any computer diving aids.
