Great videos! We are prepping for dives in St. Thomas and decided to watch some videos for quick review. We've already watched 4 of your videos! Really great! Thank you!
Hey that’s perfect! My goal is to help with refresher stuff and general questions so that’s perfect! Who are you diving with? I was just there in October! I saw a dolphin!!!
@@CircleHScuba Wow.... Dolphin!!!! So cool!! We are diving with Aqua Marine for several dives when we first get there. That is also including a night dive... our first night dive. We may do further dives if time allows. Any recommendations??
@cherie128 I only got to go on two dives unfortunately as I had some other priorities for the trip, but I’m sure it’ll be fantastic!!!!! Budget for food, it was pretty pricey and we were surprised!
@@CircleHScuba who did you dive with in St. Thomas?? I had a hard time picking (which I do based on reviews). Already expected food would be pricey. We were diving in Turks and Caicos a couple of years ago and were blown away by food prices. But, amazing dives!
@cherie128 I went with St Thomas Dive Center on a recommendation from a friend. It’s basically a shack on the beach 😅 It was fine, but I do wish I did a bit more research 😬
Shearwater has been killing it lately. This new Peregrine TX is one hell of a unit. It's probably the last dive computer a typical recreational diver will ever need. If I didn't already have a Perdix 2, I would totally buy one.
I agree!
I just got peregrine 😢
May be able to exchange if you want the upgrade? Idk of a trade in program right now. I do know that shearwater computers have very good resale value though!
There should be (is there) a trade-in program for all those who bought a Peregrine..last week. Lol Eek ; I love my Scubapro Luna AI
Haven’t tried the Luna yet. For trade in, I don’t know of one but I do know shearwater holds value pretty dang well so the resale market is usually great 🤙
My dream came true. Buy, Buy, Buy
Time for an upgrade? Haha
did you ever find the video?
Sorry find the video for what?
At last. This computer makes so much sense.
It really does. I’m happy they listened to the people who have been asking for it!
That new TX version looks great. My timing is not good (not blaming no body) I just received my regular Peregrine led than a month ago, I have only accumulated 4 dives on it. Don't get me wrong, I love it but part of me wishes I had waited one more month to order it. Can you please put both versions side by side to see the size difference?
Ah that is rough timing! The size difference between the peregrine and peregrine TX? If so, I’m almost 100% sure they are the exact same size. Like 99.9% sure
👍😎🤿🇵🇭! Another good one!
Thanks Joseph!!
Marketing 101 - sell non AI to everyone, and introduce AI to start over. 😂😂
Eh, I think it should’ve been a thing when the Peregrine came out as well but I’m happy it’s here regardless. There’s use cases for non AI but I think it’s the way forward for sure and as I mention near the end iirc, I wouldn’t recommend non AI to the majority of divers now. I have a video coming on the 31st that talks more about why AI
I was starting to save up for a Tern TX. I really love the Peregrine’s screen - it’s a no brainer for me. I’ll miss the Remora straps - but I like the longer bands on the Peregrine that play nicer with thick wetsuits.
The Tern TX comes with 2 size remora straps for dry suits/thick wetsuits. The peregrine TX has the one size strap and then bungee as well which is preferred for dry suits usually. They both fantastic. I own both now and for me it’s like I said in the video - do you want a large rectangular screen or a slightly smaller round watch style screen.
I have done hundreds of dives on my shearwater. Love it. But not sure what the point of air integration is on a tec computer. For simple rec diving there is no need for such a good computer. This may be marketed as rec, but is not worth the premium for rec diving.
Well the peregrine is still available and isn’t going anywhere. Honestly a lot of people I know don’t ever want to go back to a SPG after using air integration. I have a video coming out on the 31st about why I think air integration is so critical. I hinted at it at the end of this video. It’s fine to go non AI, but I really do think it’s the future path.
@@CircleHScuba don't disagree. I definitely think air integration is basically a must for single tank divers. (which must be 99%). Just that when I get asked by a rec diver what computer to get, there are many available at a more reasonable price point with AI. Not as good a quality sure. But most divers will only look at the main screen info and dive log. Great computer, sure. I guess my point is that there is better value to be had without much compromise that also does everything most divers would need and use.
I’m curious which other computers you’d recommend. I need to look into them too, always looking for more options
@SubmergedAngel It's 2024, AI is a part of modern diving. I'm sure you have a Bluetooth at your car 😂😂 Shearwater is #1, no matter how you look at it, those guys just crushing it day in , day out.
@@amadeuss3341 agree, as per my comment above. AI is a must have imo for rec divers (99% of people) just that it is not yet ready for tec diving. Again, I fully agree with you for rec diving.
Jeez… this bloke can talk!
Should I do silent films? 🧐
Congrats on the endorsement! 😅 huge win for your channel. I’m sure I would love AI but it’s just never on my list when looking at computer functionality and price
Thank you!!! Holy cow you HAVE to try it! Especially when getting to the tec side of diving or even recreational side mount diving too.
I'm thinking of getting the Cressi Digi 2 to go with my Peregrine. What are your thoughts?
I haven’t used it so I don’t want to comment specifically. I’ve used the peregrine and now peregrine TX though and I can stand by them. That’s not to say the Digi 2 is bad, I just don’t have experience with it.
Maybe that could be a future product review? Thanks
I’ll see if any dive buddies have it, or if I can get in touch with Cressi!
Thanks, just another SPG option for us 61 year old new divers
Glad this happened! I went Perdix AI because it had AI, if the Peregrine TX was out then, I’d have some comparing and evaluating to do. Glad you were able to partner with them and do this video.
Thanks Daniel! Loved my Perdix AI and now have two Perdix 2’s haha
I totally agree. <3 shearwater 🤩
I do too 😍
Great to see Shearwater continuing to update their line. General question - as an instructor, do you recommend wearing computers on your right or left wrist? Or does it really matter? Some say wear on the right since you use your left hand to control the LPI. Thanks…
Honestly it doesn’t matter haha. I wear mine on my right in MOST cases, but sometimes my left because I wear my watch on my left hand normally. The right is closest to where I put my transmitter (also right side) just for my 1st stage’s layout, so I get better comms wearing it on my right. When I have two computers in a normal dive, or tech dive, I’m wearing one on each wrist/forearm. Left hand for LPI is true, but you can have it on your inside forearm and look at it as you hold your left arm up so your right arm can control an unresponsive diver, panicked diver, whatever other situation. So there’s benefits too, haha. Ultimately I say go for comfort and just make sure it’s on the same side your transmitter faces for better comms, though having it on opposite side works fine for me 99% of the time. The other 1% I may just raise my arm a little toward my tank valve to get closer 🤷♂️
This is a huge win for rec divers and shearwater.. finally, a company listens to the people and delivers exactly what they want . I fully stand behind shearwater and their " for the people" development. Great company
Honestly how I feel as well. I know people have asked for this since the peregrine came out, so they did it! I hate when companies don’t listen to their customers, but Shearwater did listen!
Is the charging mechanism the same on the TX as for the old Peregrine?
Yes it is!

In the netherlands we have a strong ebb and flow current in the ocean, so strong that it could drag you away if you dont dive on the spring tide (happens twice a day no matter the season;p) you could have a very hard time getting out of the water, trying not to end up in the boat routes or even getting back to shore. So i think having the currents specialty is more of a necessity than a novelty (depending on where you live ofcourse)
Definitely depends on where you live, but I also think drift diving certification can be stuff you learn from someone teaching you the dive site. I’m not sure it’s necessary to pay for the class honestly. It’s not horrible to take and isn’t a bad decision, but you may spend your money elsewhere for more advantage in my opinion. Definitely depends on where you live though!
metric system please, learn it, your life will be much easier
In a lot of videos I try adding metric conversions as a burned in subtitle. I know both up to a point, bar still gives me trouble haha. I’m in the US and dive here and in Mexico and the Caribbean a lot. Caribbean uses both, but mainly PSI when I’ve been there, which surprised me. Sorry mate but I’ll be sticking to imperial for my content, though I do try to either say the metric equivalent or have it on screen.
how about action4
I don’t own one so I can’t do the comparison, sadly
I would have tried to find the camera for footage and return it to jimmy
I looked all around and only saw mounts for cameras. I think they recovered them already
@@CircleHScuba dang I have never been scuba diving before when I look for lost things like jiggin with jordan I intend to just hold my breathe I do it as a hobby idk why I don`t buy A GoPro for video ideas 🥲
You should! I want to look for stuff more often like him and dallmyd too haha
@@CircleHScuba I know there the good
Is anyone else looking for a MrBeast comment
I’ve been looking for 9 months 👀
Thanks
Glad it was useful
1500?????? What size tanks are you using bro hahahahaa max I’ve seen is 200
PSI, not bar.
Quality content, thank you! Helpful 🎉
You’re welcome!! Hope it’s helpful!
Basically Don't dive without an instructor if you're starting out and or dive schooling
More so just remember what you’re taught in class and don’t be complacent.
@@CircleHScuba exactly
What plane is that? I like this video😊❤🎉
It’s a GAF Nomad I think!
the doll at 2:34 was a damn jumpscare
It scared me underwater 😭😂
Awesome video
Thanks!!! Glad you enjoyed. Should have a similar style one very soon 😎
Can you do a detailed comparison with the mk2s and the standard mk3 please?
I’ll be covering the Mk3 in detail soon, (probably next month). I don’t own a mk2 but my friend does, so I can try doing a comparison sometime later too if I can borrow it!
Great video! Do you know if there will be a black in the standard mk3 43mm? Looks like they want us to buy the mk3i since they are the ones with better colours.
I don’t know what they’ll have. I’d check their website otherwise it’s probably not a thing
Honestly i was very happy that i learned dive tables in my PADI course because planning gets so much simpler knowing tables (at least for me…)
It’s a decent way to start but I definitely do it on a computer now.
Bro I read that as 7 Falafel mistakes 😀
🤣🤣🤣🤣
👍🤿😎 Yes I occasionally do review my dive tables as I would go on a dive knowing my depth from a guide on a trip asking say a day before hand and reviewing my dive tables. Kind of quizzing myself comparing to my dive computer in a sense constantly challenging myself! Oh yes I have made simple mistakes but my dive computer alerted me and I reviewed my notes and plan and found my simple mistakes! Being a little overconfident and not slowing down and rechecking myself yup I goofed up! Kind of a self discipline!
Always good to slow down a little for things like basic planning!
Hi Thomas, as I wrote before, I can’t do the turn with my legs so I have to use my hands and with palmate gloves it is very effective. I always dive with them since I learned it is almost impossible for me to do the turn with one leg only, I have motion issues to my right leg which is less powerful than the other and I have often to use my right hand to correct direction on surface [as for in Dive Master exercise] and rotation underwater. I really prefer to use the hands, there is an SNSI video which explains that in cases like mine. But I always learn from your videos and you are right to underline that in case of impairment it is perfectly fine to use hands. In the recent PADI Instructor manual it is allowed to use hands for divers with legs impairments, as you surely know. I am still trying to better my buoyancy and trim since I am doing my Rescue course now but I really aim to the Dive Master next year so I am already exercising for that :-) Thanks for all you content. If you watch my two last videos here you can see something I do underwater :))
Hey Alex! Thanks for sharing, and yes of course in some situations hands are required and I think that’s obviously fine! Good luck on your DM training next year!
