The Peregrine TX's Capabilities

At the core of the Peregrine TX lies a seamless blend of cutting-edge technology and ergonomic design. Designed for the sport diver, this Shearwater Peregrine dive computer boasts a large, full-color display that ensures vital dive information is always clearly visible. With air integration, users can monitor real-time gas pressure data, making informed decisions that extend dive times. The Peregrine TX also supports up to 4 transmitters simultaneously, enhancing the diving experience with precise gas management.

Navigating with Confidence

In addition to its air integration capabilities, the Peregrine Shearwater TX includes a tilt-compensated digital compass, a significant upgrade from its former versions. This built-in compass provides accurate headings, allowing divers to maintain their course during underwater explorations and ensuring they can easily return to their starting point. Whether navigating complex reef systems or exploring new dive sites, the Peregrine TX’s digital compass offers unparalleled reliability.

Wireless Charging for Uninterrupted Dives

One of the most remarkable features of the Peregrine Shearwater TX is its wireless rechargeable battery, offering up to 30 hours of use on medium brightness. This eliminates the need for frequent battery changes, allowing for extended dive sessions. The included wireless charging station, complete with a USB-C connection, ensures that your Shearwater Peregrine TX is always ready for your next adventure.

Decompression Diving with Confidence

As with all Shearwater dive computers, the Shearwater Peregrine TX Dive Computer supports decompression diving. It can handle up to 3 nitrox gases with oxygen concentrations ranging from 1% to 100%. The integrated decompression dive planner ensures that divers can plan and execute decompression dives safely, minimizing risks associated with decompression sickness.

Key Differences Between the Peregrine and Peregrine TX

While the original Peregrine is designed for single gas air and nitrox diving, and light 3-gas nitrox technical diving, the Peregrine TX offers advanced features such as air integration and a tilt-compensated digital compass. These enhancements make the Peregrine TX a more versatile and powerful option for divers seeking a comprehensive and reliable dive computer.
