Lori Sauer Jun 01, 2026
If you’ve been secretly squinting at your old dive computer under a ledge, pretending you can actually read your deco limits while your dive buddy hovers patiently... we see you. Low-resolution screens, sluggish Bluetooth syncs, and bulky setups? It’s time to leave them in the past where they belong.
The legendary countdown is officially over. The brand-new Shearwater Perdix 3 has finally made its grand entrance into the US market, and we have them right here at the shop!
Shearwater has taken their flagship, bulletproof design and absolutely supercharged it. Here is the breakdown of why your wrist is begging for this upgrade:
1. A Display That Actually Lives in 2026
Say goodbye to low-contrast screens. The Perdix 3 boasts a jaw-dropping 2.4” ultra-bright AMOLED display with 4x higher resolution than its predecessor. Whether you’re diving in a crystal-clear quarry, a dark cavern, or blinding midday surface sun, this display pops with incredible clarity. Plus, they’ve introduced a new "Big Layout" option for font sizes—because none of us are getting any younger!
2. Armored Luxury
Shearwater computers are famous for being "expedition-ready," but the Perdix 3 takes it up a notch. It features a rugged armored casing wrapped with a precision-machined titanium bezel and ultra-reliable titanium piezo touch buttons with adjustable sensitivity. It’s built like an absolute tank but feels like pure luxury on your wrist.
3. Lightning-Fast Connectivity
Tired of waiting for your dive logs to transfer? The Perdix 3 comes equipped with upgraded Bluetooth architecture that delivers 6x faster connectivity with ultra-secure encryption. You can sync your profile to your phone and analyze your stats before you’re even out of your wetsuit.
4. Next-Gen Air Integration & GPS
The Perdix 3 seamlessly tracks up to four tank pressures simultaneously. But the real magic happens when you pair it with the Swift GPS Transmitter—it will automatically lock in your exact entry and exit coordinates right to your dive log. No more guessing exactly where that secret ledge was!
5. Infinite Customization for Every Style of Diver
Whether you are a recreational diver cruising on Air and Nitrox, or a hard-core technical explorer utilizing multi-gas Trimix and Closed-Circuit Rebreathers (CCR), this computer evolves with you. It features 14 customizable color options allowing for thousands of interface configurations, a built-in 3-axis tilt-compensated digital compass, and full Avelo system compatibility.
And yes—purists can rejoice because it still utilizes a trusty, user-replaceable single AA battery!
