Shearwater Perdix 3 Dive Computer

Quick answer: The Shearwater Perdix 3 Dive Computer is the third generation of Shearwater's full-size Perdix wrist computer, offered in silver or black. Fat Guy Scuba Supply lists it through our Scuba.com affiliate partnership, and you choose your color and complete the purchase at Scuba.com.

Why divers choose a Perdix

The Perdix line has a strong following among recreational and technical divers. It's a full-size wrist computer with a large screen, and that size is a real advantage. A bigger display is easier to read at depth, in low light and when your wrist is tucked in close to your body. It's the kind of computer you can start with as a newer diver and keep as your training grows.

Air integration ready

Scuba.com lists the Perdix 3 with its air-integrated computers. This listing is for the computer on its own, so if you want tank pressure on your wrist, check whether a transmitter is included or plan to add one. If you'd rather keep your hose-mounted gauge for now, that works too. Air integration can be something you add later, once you've gotten comfortable with the computer.

Before ordering

Pick silver or black at Scuba.com and check the retailer's product details for exactly what's in the box. Confirm transmitter compatibility if you plan to add air integration. If you dive a thick wetsuit or drysuit, make sure the included strap will reach, or plan on a longer one.

Usage notes

Read the manual and set up the computer on land before your first dive with it. Get familiar with the menus and the settings you'll check most often. Charge or check the battery before each dive trip. Rinse with fresh water after every dive and store it dry.

FGSS take: A big, readable screen and room to grow make the Perdix 3 worth a close look.
