Shearwater Research Perdix AI Dive Computer
The Shearwater Perdix AI Dive Computer combines advanced recreational and technical diving capabilities with a large, easy-to-read full-color display and built-in wireless air-integration capability.
Its 2.2-inch full-color LCD display provides clear presentation of critical dive information with a customizable layout designed to make important information easy to see at a glance. Shearwater's straightforward two-button interface makes navigating menus and settings simple, even when wearing dive gloves.
Wireless Air Integration
The Perdix AI is equipped with the hardware required to pair with compatible wireless pressure transmitters, allowing tank pressure and Gas Time Remaining (GTR) information to be displayed directly on the computer.
This air-integration capability is an important distinction between the Perdix AI and non-AI Perdix models, which do not have the hardware necessary to pair with wireless pressure transmitters.
Transmitter sold separately.
With current firmware, the Perdix AI can support up to four compatible transmitters, providing considerable flexibility for single-tank, doubles, sidemount and other diving configurations.
The Perdix AI supports Air, Nitrox and Trimix diving along with open-circuit technical and closed-circuit/bailout applications. It uses the proven Bühlmann ZHL-16C decompression algorithm with Gradient Factors.
A built-in 3-axis, tilt-compensated digital compass provides underwater navigation without requiring a separate compass. Bluetooth connectivity provides communication with Shearwater Cloud for dive-log downloads, firmware updates and dive-data management.

Why FGSS Likes It for Larger Divers
The Perdix AI is an excellent choice for larger divers because it combines an exceptionally readable 2.2-inch color display with a full-size dive computer format rather than squeezing critical information onto a small watch-style screen.
Its large display makes depth, decompression, gas and tank-pressure information easier to see underwater. The mounting configuration also provides greater flexibility than many conventional watch-style dive computers.
For divers who add compatible wireless transmitters, the Perdix AI can place tank pressure and Gas Time Remaining directly on that same large display. That combination of excellent readability, flexible mounting and wireless air-integration capability makes the Perdix AI a particularly strong fit for the Fat Guy Scuba Supply philosophy: scuba gear should fit the diver.
