I have a couple of Shearwater computers but I am not a fan as they are generally expensive. SB people like to push the most expensive thing constantly. For entry level I would recommend something like a Zoop or the equivalent Aqualung. I would even recommend an Oceanic before the Deep 6 despite thinking Oceanic are a bunch of robbing bastards due to some failed regulators. If you think your choices does come down to the Peregrine vs the Excursion then certainly buy the Peregrine. It is a completely capable computer. It only lacks CCR and Trimix and diving those is so expensive the cost of replacing the Peregrine would be lost in the noise.So we have been leaning toward the deep6 excursion especially with it being on sale right now for $200. However the peregrine is also one that we've been looking at. Keep in mind we are having to buy 2 at the same time. Neither of us plan on going into tech diving. She is just getting her OW and im starting my advanced. Would the excursion be enough for us or is it worth spending the extra 250 for each peregrine? Any thoughts on the deep6 excursion and peregrine would be extremely helpful.
Deep 6 stuff is not for sale where I live and I was banned from the main Excursion thread presumably because I called into question their understanding of software development, so take my views with a grain of salt,
