Shearwater Perdix 3 Black + Swift GPS Transmitter

The rugged Shearwater Perdix 3 black dive computer delivers ultimate reliability for your underwater adventures. While retaining the form factor and dimensions of its predecessor, the 2.2" screen Perdix 2, it's upped the game, featuring a stunning, ultra-bright 2.4" AMOLED display with a higher 450×600 resolution that ensures exceptional clarity in all diving (and surface) environments.

Air integration with up to four Shearwater Swift GPS transmitters allows room to grow from a first computer to a powerful, proven, advanced technical diving solution.

Furthermore, a precision-engineered titanium bezel and an armoured casing protect the advanced electronics inside. Consequently, this heavy-duty design safely shields the dive computer during intense recreational diving and advanced technical exploration. Finally, extensive colour customisation options allow you to tailor the vivid screen for maximum readability.

In addition to its tough exterior, a refined user interface makes menu navigation faster and more intuitive. Divers can easily track critical moments thanks to the trusted vibration alert system, which clearly signals important notifications.

Shearwater Swift GPS Transmitter

Shearwater Research's Swift GPS Transmitter is engineered to provide divers with both reliable, real-time air integration and crucial surface location data, together with dive log maps. It represents a groundbreaking evolution of the trusted Swift AI technology into a single, compact, powerful unit.

While you'll enjoy all the features of the trusted Swift, receiving real-time gas pressure data and benefiting from accurate gas time remaining calculations for extended dive time, you'll also be getting a location accuracy of 4 metres based on a satellite reporting interval of 4.8 - 5.2 seconds.

Better still, if you already have a transmitter — or multiple transmitters —only one of them needs to be the GPS version to reap the benefits.

Product FAQs

What are the main differences between the Perdix 3 and Perdix 2?

The biggest upgrade is the display: the Perdix 3 features an ultra-bright 2.4-inch AMOLED display with 450 x 600 resolution, offering four times the resolution and vastly superior viewing angles compared to the Perdix 2's 2.2-inch 320 x 240 LCD screen.

Additionally, the Perdix 3 introduces a "Big Layout" option for easier readability, an updated user interface, programmable quick-change layout settings, and expanded screen colour customisation. Perdix 3 also comes with Freediving Mode straight out of the box with configurable sampling rates and alarms.

Despite the larger screen, the outer casing dimensions remain the same, though it is slightly lighter at 181g versus 190g for the Perdix 2.

Does the Perdix 3 have vibration alerts?

Yes, the Shearwater Perdix 3 features a robust, customizable vibration alert system that triggers at critical moments during dives. Note that for the vibration function to work, you must use 1.5V non-rechargeable lithium batteries or 3.7V rechargeable lithium batteries; standard alkaline batteries do not support vibration.

Can I replace the Shearwater Perdix 3 battery myself?

Absolutely. The Perdix 3 features a user-replaceable AA battery compartment. It accepts almost any AA battery type (alkaline, lithium, or rechargeable), though Shearwater recommends 1.5V lithium batteries (like Energizer Ultimate Lithium) for the best performance and leak resistance in cold water.

It's important to note that battery life will depend on the type of battery you use:

• Lithium 1.5V: up to 60 hours
• 1.5 V Alkaline: up to 40 hours
• 3.6 V Saft: up to 80 hours
• 1.2 V NiMh: up to 30 hours
• 3.7 V Li-ion rechargeable: up to 35 hours

Does the Shearwater Perdix 3 support air integration and GPS?

Yes, the Perdix 3 is fully air-integrated. It can wirelessly monitor tank pressure from up to four separate Swift transmitters simultaneously. While the computer itself does not have an internal GPS chip, it fully integrates with Shearwater's Swift GPS transmitter. When paired, the transmitter captures your precise surface entry and exit coordinates and automatically syncs them to the new Dive Shearwater mobile app to map out your dive history.
This combination makes the Perdix 3 an excellent choice for divers who want to monitor their primary gas, deco gases, sidemount cylinders or even a buddy's air supply as well as dive location.

What is the new Perdix 3 "Big Layout" option?

The "Big Layout" is a new user interface mode designed specifically for divers who want maximum glanceability or struggle to read smaller text underwater. It allows you to toggle the AMOLED display to use giant font sizes for your most critical data (like depth and NDL), making it the most easily readable layout Shearwater has ever produced.

Can I use the Perdix 3 for CCR diving?

Absolutely. Just like its predecessor, the Perdix 3 is built to grow with your diving career. It features full support for everything from basic Air and Nitrox to advanced Trimix and multi-gas CCR diving, utilising the trusted Bühlmann decompression algorithm.
