So real question: is the shearwater perdix AI (or earlier perdix) the best dive computer ever?
Shearwater gets a lot of fanboi love, and I’m sure it’s well deserved but is it the best?
Parameters:
Bang for the buck: is it worth the money or could you spend slightly more and get much better or slightly less and get almost the same?
Grow with you: if you are already diving at the top end of dive planing and task loading or just a vacation diver your needs are fairly clear cut. The challenge comes when you are early in your dive career and have hopes (pipe dreams?) to get into more complicated diving and want to make an investment that makes sense.
User friendly: customer service, user friendly interface? Do others do it better?
Performance: does it do what it’s says it can do?
Im very generally considering getting one. I can totally way for a while but it got me to thinking.
