Multiple Diving Modes for Every Dive Scenario
The Shearwater Perdix 2 offers a range of diving modes to cater to different dive scenarios and levels of expertise. Let's explore each diving mode in detail:
Air / Nitrox / 3 GasNx
For the serious recreational diver, the Perdix 2 provides a 3 gas nitrox computer capable of accommodating up to three gas mixtures. Divers can customize the display layout according to their preferences. The Perdix 2 can also be optionally air integrated using Swift transmitters, providing real-time tank pressure information.
OC Technical
With its default trimix capability, the Perdix 2 is an excellent choice for divers engaged in open-circuit technical diving. Divers can explore the depths with confidence, knowing that the Perdix 2 has their back. This mode can also be optionally air integrated, further enhancing the dive experience.
Closed Circuit/Bail Out Diving
For closed circuit and bailout diving, the Perdix 2 offers the necessary features to ensure a safe and successful dive. With its trimix enablement and constant PO2 for closed circuit, divers can rely on the Perdix 2 to provide accurate and crucial information. Additionally, the Perdix 2 can be optionally air integrated for diluent, oxygen, and bailout gases.
Gauge
The Perdix 2 doesn't disappoint when it comes to basic diving needs. In gauge mode, it functions as a reliable bottom timer with a resettable stopwatch function. It also allows full dive logging and provides tank pressure information accessible in the information screens.
High Resolution, Easy-to-Read Display
The Shearwater Perdix 2 boasts a large 2.2" display with a vivid, enhanced color range and saturation. The high resolution ensures that divers can easily read the information displayed, even in challenging lighting conditions. The screen is protected by an impact-resistant toughened aluminosilicate glass, providing superior clarity and durability.
Thin, Low-Profile Design
The Perdix 2 is designed with practicality and comfort in mind. It is 30% smaller in volume compared to the Petrel 2, making it sleek and unobtrusive during dives. The thin, low-profile design ensures that it doesn't interfere with other equipment or impede the diver's movements underwater.
Two Button Interface for Easy Navigation
Navigating through the Perdix 2's menu is a breeze, thanks to its simple two-button interface. The state-aware menu structure allows divers to easily access the desired settings and information during their dives. Whether adjusting gas mixtures, setting alarms, or reviewing dive logs, the Perdix 2's user-friendly interface ensures a smooth user experience.
Vibration Warning Alerts for Enhanced Safety
Safety is paramount when it comes to diving, and the Perdix 2 takes this seriously. It features a strong vibration customizable alert system that draws attention at critical moments of the dive. Whether it's a depth or time alarm, the Perdix 2 ensures that divers are always aware of potential risks and can take necessary precautions.
User Replaceable Batteries for Convenience
The Perdix 2 is designed with convenience in mind. Both the Perdix 2 dive computer and the transmitter use user-replaceable batteries. The dive computer works with any standard AA battery, while the transmitter utilizes a 3V CR2 Lithium battery. This ensures that divers can easily replace the batteries themselves, without requiring any specialized tools or assistance.
Bluetooth® Wireless Technology for Seamless Connectivity
The Perdix 2 comes equipped with Bluetooth® wireless technology, allowing divers to seamlessly connect with their devices. It enables communication with PC, Mac, iPod, and iPad, ensuring effortless data transfer and synchronization. With lower power consumption, divers can enjoy extended connectivity without worrying about battery drain.
User Customizable Display for Personalized Information
Every diver has unique preferences when it comes to the information they want to see on their dive computer. The Perdix 2 allows divers to customize their display, ensuring that they have access to the information that is most important to them. From gas mixtures to decompression information, divers can tailor their display to suit their needs.
