...I’m waiting for someone to come in with thousands of dives lol
Before someone logs 1000 dives on a Shearwater they come out with a newer product which you will upgrade to and you will either sell your old computer or just keep it on the shelf. I currently have 4 Shearwater computers around here. It would take me a lifetime to get 1000 on them all.I’m really appreciating all these numbers, thanks all and keep them coming.

hI RABEI have 159 dives on the Perdix, and so far 0 failures.
It is my primary computer, and I dive with also a depth gauge and a back up plan.
The transmitter instead, had failed me many times, and it is one of the reason why I'm not using it anymore.
That's not a failure as such just out of range.Ai failes sometimes. But reconnects after about a minute. So no problem.
This is very interesting, but I don't think it applies for me.hI RABE
what was the failure on the xmitter (assuming the AI)?? did you find it dead shortly after changing batteries and a long surface time? That was the issue with my 4 AI xmitters. I quit using them long ago because of the problem. I discovered the cause, with mine, when I was playing with my computer and saw I had AI input coming in when the reg was in the bag. Removing the dust cover resulted in a poof of air from the reg and then it shut the AI xmitter off immediately, and had no problem with it untill the next dive. . I found that you have to give the reg plenty of time to vent off as the cold reg warmed up it triggered the psi turn on point. All my other failures was accuracy of 300psi off after a seasons diving. furtunately it read low as I remember.
