All you have to do is type “best dive computer” into a search bar. Out of 100 hits on Google, about 99 of them will say “Shearwater.” There’s good reason for that!

Shearwater dive computers are known for quality, customizability, and ease of use. Until recently, their focus has been on the world of technical diving. While still holding on to its tech roots, the Peregrine is Shearwater’s first computer aimed directly at the everyday recreational diver, and it doesn’t disappoint!

  • It’s a Shearwater! – Seriously, that means something. Calling something “the best” these days is largely subjective, whether it’s a car brand, a football team, or a TV show. In Shearwater’s case, they’ve earned it. Their screens are brilliant and easy to read, the operating system and algorithm are top-notch, menu navigation is extremely intuitive, and they simply work. All the time. They are made by humans, though, so you can rest easy knowing that Shearwater’s customer service is second to none.
  • Full-Color Display and State-Aware Menu – Shearwater computers are known for beautiful displays, and the Peregrine is no exception. Its 2.2″ LCD screen is super easy to read, both underwater and outside in the sun, with clear, sharp lines and adjustable brightness levels. Like the Perdix and Petrel lines, the Peregrine sports a simple, 2-button interface that’s state aware. That means that for any menu you’re in, the screen tells you what the buttons do!

You can review every aspect of the dive, choosing to see as much, or as little, info as you choose. Full dive profile, water temperatures, inert gas loading, whatever! You can even sync between the desktop and phone without having the Peregrine involved because it’s all stored in the cloud!
