Shearwater Perdix AI OC/CC Trimix Computer
The Shearwater Perdix AI Dive Computer is a colour screen technical dive computer with a user changeable battery and customisable screen as well as optional Wireless Air Integration. Smaller and more streamlined than the tried and trusted Petrel the Perdix has most of the same features but for a few small differences.
The Perdix is made for both open circuit and closed circuit technical divers who need a simple and powerful dive computer that can be adjusted and customised for them and their dive at hand when things change. The Perdix has been made by technical divers who understand the needs and what a dive computer must be able to do in and out of the water. Everything about the Perdix has been made to be as Flexible as possible so you can make it what you need it to be from the choice of straps to screen layout and breathing mixes.
Piezo-electric Buttons on either side don't require any kind of movement or pressure to use them so are quick and easy even when wearing thick gloves. The Centre Row Information on the dive screen can be customised and changed to what you need to know for your dive.
The AI will connect to one or two Pelagic Wireless Air Transmitters and can be paired for life as you input the serial number for each on the computer to pair. Because they are paired by serial number this means identifying each stage easier and you don't have to re-pair every time you want to go diving.

- AquaLung Pelagic Transmitter
- Oceanic Pelagic Transmitter
