I have a perdix and want to do some freediving. Will I have any problems using a perdix in dive mode for this?

In dive mode you would get all the relevant information but its going to be unhappy with ascent rates etc. I would use it in gauge mode, same info but no tissue loading, which you probably don't need anyway.
Hmm, I'd be very cautious about freediving straight after scuba. Your inert gas tissue loading will still be elevated from the dive and fast (and possibly repeat) ascents from freediving could easily force the gas out of solution and increase your chance of DCS.I wanted to keep it in dive mode so I don't lose the tissues, but since I'm only going to freedive after scuba not before it won't matter too much. Now that I've written that Guage mode makes a lot more sense. Thanks
Yes you're absolutely correct I wrote the wrong thing. I meant before, but my brain wrote after. LolHmm, I'd be very cautious about freediving straight after scuba.

I enjoy both disciplines, but wouldn't risk combining the two.
Just my 2 pennies worth and I'd obviously defer to one of the resident medical experts if they have a different view.
In Guage mode it doesn't track tissuesBut then you will have problems with tissue loading in the perdix. Because of the rapid ascents it might five you very low bottom. Dive on the dive after
