- Hi guys, I'm Mark.
A scuba diving instructor from Safe Diving.
- And I'm Mark Evans.
Editor-in-chief of Scuba Diver Magazine.
- So in this series of videos,
we're going to be taking a closer look
at an entire range of the newest scuba diving equipment.
And all of these videos are sponsored by Mike's Dive Store.
The UK's largest scuba diving retailer,
as they hold most of these items, in stock at all times.
- They're also doing their bit for sustainability.
By moving to eco-friendly packaging.
And they also donate 1% of all their online profits
to the marine conservation charity, Sea-Changers.
- So let's jump straight in.

Okay.
So here we have the Shearwater Peregrine Dive Computer.
So this is a large screen, color screen,
rechargeable dive computer.
So, it really ticks a lot of the boxes
for a good 99% of scuba divers.
And to put it into perspective,
it's basically a kind of a lite-version of the Perdix.
So it has a lot of the sort of extra,
or the kinda technical stuff that most people
are never really gonna use. It gets rid of that.
And it gets rid of the AI as well.
The wireless air integration.
And puts it into a really sensible price position.
So this is what you get.
So it comes in a neat little case.
And obviously you can reuse this to keep it safe
in between dives, to sort of store and travel it.
Unzip that and then inside here, we have the dive computer.
So, I'm going to go quickly through
sort of everything that you get with it.
So obviously you get the dive computer,
but I'm going to show you that a little bit later.
So you have to stay tuned.
You get a bit of a sort of foam padding and around this,
you get the elastomer strap.
So this is a nice, smooth strap, very comfortable.
It's nice and long, so you can fit it around a dry suit.
And you get that traditional kind
of buckle holding it in position.
Underneath that, if I just give it a little push,
you get the recharging pad. So this is a USB recharging.
So you plug that into a powered USB port.
And then you put that on your desk
and then that will recharge your Peregrine.
So, very handy, especially on a dive boat.
You don't have to bring all your different adapters.
You just need one powered USB port and you can charge
your phone, your dive computer, you name it.
Also inside of here, i'm not going to unravel it.
We've got this bungee cable and that's
because you can either use the elastomer strap.
Or, if you can see here.
We've got these kind of holes down on the side.
And that just means that you can use a
sorta bungee mount, which I prefer personally.
It sort of holds onto your wrist nice and easily.
And you never have to worry about that buckle.
And it's going to adjust as your wetsuit
or your dry suit compresses at depth.
You also have a few tools.
So you've got these two little screwdrivers
and there, sort of nuts and bolts
and those are for the main strap.
Also in the box, 'cause you get a lot of stuff
from Shearwater, you get a screen protector.
So be very careful when you're
putting that on, 'cause you don't want dust, hairs
or bubbles from sort of getting underneath that.
And you also get a couple stickers
to show some brand allegiance.
Also in the box, you have this zippered section at the top.
And then inside here, you get the USB cable,
for that recharging kind of cradle pad.
And you also get a little bit of paperwork.
So you have a kind of a link to the digital version
of the user manual, definitely read through the user manual.
And you get a quality checklist just so that you know,
that everything's included
and it's all been checked by Shearwater.
Okay, so now we're moving onto the actual dive computer.
I'm just going to take this off very carefully,
and switch it on.
Okay, so this is the dive computer itself.
So it has a sensible sized screen.
And it's color screen as well.
So if you start to do something wrong,
it starts changing color.
It goes reds and yellows, which is really effective
at really kind of drawing your attention.
Because if you look at a general screen
it's got all this information and you might sort of
glance over something that's actually quite important.
So if it changes color it really draws your attention.
Big screen, nice big digits.
And it's kind of laid out really sensibly.
The body of it is made out of a polymer.
So it's nice and light.
It's also quite thin.
It's arguably a little bit thinner
than a Perdix and it's nice and flat as well.
The buttons are slightly different on the Peregrine,
compared to the Perdix.
These are pretty much the buttons from the Teric.
You don't get the piezo-electric buttons on the Perdix.
These ones are sort of metal push buttons, but just
as good, they definitely do the job and you get one
on either side and as you sorta press a button, it spells
out exactly, sort of what the button function does.
So you can cycle through everything.
And then when you get to the one that you want,
if I want to turn it off,
I know I push that button and it switches it off.
So very intuitive, very natural to sort of
get your head around.
Flipping it over, nothing overly exciting on the back side.
But you might be able to get a better look
at these sort of attachment points either for the main,
sort of elastomer strap or for those bungee straps.
Okay. So that's the Shearwater Peregrine Dive Computer.
A kind of a recreational dive computer.
It's got a full color screen and a decent size as well.
So you can read everything that's on it all.
All air, nitrox, everything that you could possibly need
for recreational diving.
And, it's rechargeable as well from a standard USB plug.
So yeah, very good dive computer.
