How does the TERN compare to other Shearwater computers ?
You can view a full comparison chart to see how the Tern stacks up.
Comparison Chart
Can the TERN take me through my diving career ?
The TERN is designed for sport and light technical diving.

Or, if interested in CCR diving specifically, our NERD2 and Petrel 3 are compatible with various rebreather models.
Does the TERN have smart watch features ?
The TERN offers basic watch functionality and great looks, which is perfect for the surface interval and diving weekends. We do not include hybrid smart watch functions. Shearwater makes dedicated dive computers which are powerful, simple, and reliable. We believe that reliable and intuitive instrumentation underwater is critical to your enjoyment and safety. The underwater environment is not a place to read manuals or remember complex button pushes.
Does the TERN have audible alarms ?
No. The TERN comes with a powerful customizable vibration alert system.
What is the screen lens made of ?
The TERN features an alkali-aluminosilicate toughened glass lens that is resistant to scratches and boasts excellent transparency and impact resistance. Nevertheless, we recommend using a screen protector to maintain the TERN’s pristine appearance through all your adventures.
Does the TERN come with a screen protector fitted ?
Yes, the TERN comes with a screen protector fitted from the factory. To avoid any confusion, an additional film protector is included, bearing the notice ‘This dive computer comes with a screen protector preinstalled, which should be removed before use.

Is there a Non-Air Integrated version of the Perdix 2 ?
No. There is an only an Air Integrated version of the Perdix 2.
Does the Perdix 2 have audible alarms ?
The Perdix 2 comes with a strong customizable vibration alert system. This is more effective than sound which can be difficult to hear when diving with a hood, or ascertain which computer is sounding an audible alarm when diving in a small group.
Is a rebreather connected Perdix 2 available (eg. Fischer connector) ?
No, the Perdix 2 is a stand alone only product. The Perdix 2 does have a rebreather (CC) mode that uses internal fixed PPO2 setpoints. This is useful for calculating backup decompression schedules when diving a closed circuit rebreather. The Petrel 3 is sold in the Fischer and DiveCAN models for connecting to a rebreather.
What decompression model does the Perdix 2 use ?
The standard decompression model is Bühlmann ZHL-16C with Gradient Factors. Also, the VPM-B decompression model and DCIEM is available by purchasing an unlock code. More information can be found in the Perdix 2 manual. Recommended reading is "Clearing up the Confusion About Deep Stops" - Eric C. Baker, P.E.

How does the Teric compare to other Shearwater computers ?
You can view a full comparison chart to see how the Teric stacks up.
Comparison Chart
Can I replace the bezel on my Teric ?
No. Replacing the bezel would be prohibitively expensive as the blue sapphire glass is permanently bonded to the bezel and the AMOLED screen. If you're looking for ways to personalize your Teric, you can purchase coloured watch straps.
What is Shearwater's warranty policy ?
Shearwater offers a worldwide 2-year warranty on all products. The warranty lives with the unit, not with the original purchaser. This means that whether you buy your unit from our dealer network or second-hand, the warranty will still be effective.
Shearwater will, at its sole discretion, repair or replace defective products covered under warranty.
Unauthorized repairs, accidental damage, or negligence are not covered by the warranty.
The warranty covers included accessories such as chargers and straps.
Is the Teric screen scratch proof ?
The Teric screen is made of sapphire crystal which is one of the most scratch resistant material that can reasonably be used as a watch window. However, sharp impacts can still result in scratches. In particular, chrome plating has very high hardness and may scratch the Teric window. If you are concerned with scratching the Teric window, we suggest using a screen protector. Exceptional impacts may still damage the window even with a protector fitted. Screen protectors are currently sold by several third-party vendors that fit the Teric.
How often does the rechargeable battery in the Teric need to be replaced ?
The typical battery life is 5 years.

The Swift is designed and built in Canada for demanding divers of all proficiency levels.
User replaceable CR2 battery
Collision avoidance for other transmitters
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is the Swift O2 Compatible ?
Swift transmitters are built with O2 compatible materials; however, the Swift is not shipped “O2 clean”.
What is the battery life ?
The Swift’s battery life is approximately 300 dive hours or 5 years when in storage. It is important to ensure that the regulator the Swift is mounted on is purged when not in use. The Swift will continue to transmit gas pressure if it is pressurized above 3.5 bar (50 psi).
How is the Swift different from Legacy Shearwater transmitters ?
The Swift has many improvements over legacy Shearwater transmitters:
The active interference avoidance system allows multiple transmitters to work side-by-side without signal interference. The maximum recommended number of legacy transmitters was two (one grey, one yellow).
The indicator LED provides quick diagnostic information.
The Swift is smaller than legacy Shearwater transmitters.
The Swift has a robust metal base that allows for hand installation without the need for special tools or wrenches.
The Swift’s double O-ring design reduces the chance of a flood after a battery change.
The Swift is unlikely to be mistaken for a tank valve knob.
The Swift was designed and built in British Columbia, Canada.
Will the Shift work with existing Shearwater Computers ?
The Swift works with all pre-existing Shearwater AI computers, and likely to work with computers from other brands that use MH8A marked transmitters. However, operation with dive computers from other brands cannot be guaranteed.
Can I use the Swift to track buddies', students' remaining tank pressure ?
