Damn, 24 dives for a review is no joke. Quality work!

Thanks for the video James. I watched it last summer when I purchased the Peregrine and found your video to be instructive. Today I did a beach dive, long walk, found a beach shower did a ‘rinse’ of my gear and more of a long walk. When I went to download my dive the computer wouldn’t turn on and I was like…Grrrr. But your final comments had stuck with me of warm water rinse. Had you not shared your knowledge and experience I’d have thrown a tantrum about my relatively new computer going TU. I still dive my console with my original Aeries Pro hockey puck that doesn’t date adjust beyond 2012 (hey it still works) but the warm water soak for ten minutes fixed the issue and I will continue to give the TLC recommended.

Hey James, just got my OW on Sept 8th, including my course, I have 11 logged dives so far. A Zoop Novo came in the console of the used reg set I purchased (Hollis DCX, LX200) but I always wanted a "new" computer. (my course was supposed to start last April, but pandemics happen) I purchased my regs back in March. Always loved the idea of a Shearwater, as my primary computer. I jumped at the Peregrine when I saw it. Dive 3 on it was yesterday. The vibration alert worked great through my dry suit and was very easy to address with my dry gloves on. My Peregrine is currently sitting in a bucket of warm water, thanks for that tip. I turned 59, last Saturday, and my old man eyes love the big screen. There will only be recreational diving in my future, so this will be my primary, until, hopefully an AI model comes out. Time will tell if that comes to fruition, or I get a Perdix AI. I am on Vancouver Island, so Shearwater is very much a local business for me, one ferry ride away. I hope to dive, 2-4 times a week, as shore diving here is fantastic. You have been a big source of info for me since last March. Thanks for what you do.

Just got my OW couple weeks ago and now want to get my own equipment but have no idea what i'm looking at with so many options. glad i found this channel, definitely helping me a lot.

Best reviews on youtube. FINALLY a proper review instead of a “I think it does this, it has this feature”.....”review”. Many thanks James. Hopefully I’m lucky enough to win this bad boy and some of that divers ready swag! Cheers, and dive safe.

I did not know this about salt crystals forming in the button cavities ... Thanks. This was actually a super helpful review ...

Hi James, really good review! I don’t know too many people who would take the time for thoroughly review and test out a computer!

Thanks for the review. It's been a few years since I've last been diving and winning this would give me a reason to go take a refresher course.

I found your channel because I recognized the adventure outfitters shop that you visited! I will be doing my open water certification through them at the end of this month (October) so it was great to see them on here! They are great people! This computer would be great for me as I am a beginner and haven’t purchased one yet! My boyfriend and I will be diving in Kenya this Christmas so it would be great to have! Thanks for all of your informative videos, alway appreciate transparency :)

Friggin HILARIOUS INTRO JAMES!!

Can I say I’m so excited to see this review before the video even starts??!

Thanks for the in-depth review of the Peregrine! I’ll be sharing this review with divers to whom I am already recommending the Peregrine, being a Perdix owner and Shearwater fan, for those same reasons of solid build and fantastic service department. I would love to win the Peregrine (and the swag) take it diving!

At last a great review of the peregrine... but exactly like you said, I still can’t make up my mind: peregrine vs perdix from the start... I know I wanna go deeper 😗🤷‍♂️ but it’s bloody expensive 😬 winning the contest would solve my existential questions... thanks for your vid 👌🏻

Wait... the Christus uses a Peregrine??? Siri, search amazon... awesome video, thanks.

You know I've watched this video like 30x ... cuz I dislike all dive comps except the perdix... since i will not be doing superman deco dives like you super divers do, I am buying the Peregrine from a Local diver from Rockville, MD. I only state that because they dive with Ocean Divers, thats how I met you, thats how I got my sticker, and how I will remember it forever. i love it. Cheers james! Thank you for the thorough review. Your videos are as great!!! Every diver needs to subscribe to you. Cheers Blood!

Nice well-rounded review...appreciate the dirty details! My wife and I finished our open water certification yesterday, so total rookies just starting the diving journey, and will be soon in the market for a computer. Your channel has been a great resource for 'real deal' SCUBA information - look forward to future videos!

I’m a new diver. I have vision problems. I have experimented with a few dive computers in order to determine which one to buy. Shearwater is the only one I can actually see during my dives. Pick me, pick me.

Hi James, new open water diver here. I found your channel looking jacket vs backplate and wing info, and I’ve stayed for everything else. You’re a great source of info and the quality of your vids is great! Keep up the good work!

Shearwater has the BEST customer service EVER!! Their service to my Teric Watch computer was extremely fast! Also...when I had a retaining band to my watch break...they sent me an entire new band!

Enjoy watching your reviews and videos in general... I actually missed you by about a week when I went to visit family in Florida, ended up visiting that dive shop in Tampa. Was really cool to talk with them and they are super friendly and responsive!! I messaged them late one night and expected a response the next day, and they replied within about 30 minutes.

Good Video and I must say that you did a great review of the Shearwater rather than just reading the specifications. I was think about buying this as I am new to the Scuba world. Thank you so much for the information.

The "light" tech dive rant was lol. Thanks for all of your videos!

Great video, I'm considering this as my primary for recreational solo diving and a user review is what I was looking for. Wished I had watched a few days earlier, missed the cut off for the draw :(

No frills and to the point. I really appreciate both the pros and cons that you observed when using the Computer.

Bought one for my wife and myself today. New divers, so we are excited to try them out. Thanks for a very great review!!!!

So yeah. I was gonna call him out for you ... then opted out. Proof of growth ! Sometimes they don't even have the gear they're reviewing lol

Thanks for the chance to win. I'm a brand new diver and don't even have all my gear yet. ❤️ This would help.

SHEARWATER: We have a new computer called the Peregrine. ME: I'm your Huckleberry.

I am new to the diving community residing in California, I'm still learning and trying to put together a gear list that will best suit my journey as an entry level open water diver. eventually I would like to teach other people about diving and get them to dive and enjoy the beautiful world that diving opens up for us as a diver. I was blessed to have been able to get certified in Okinawa Japan during through a PADI instructor whom is also a USMC officer. I had a blast and didn't even want to leave, it was so peaceful being in the water not having to worry about anything except gas in the tank lol.

Finally the review is out! the display looks great

Nice follow-up to the "4 dive computers under $500" comparison video! I hope Shearwater keeps sending you stuff to review

Hey James, Thank you so much for your review of the Shearwater Peregrine. I went and got one today (supported my local dive shop btw) and I can't wait to get my first dive in with an actual Shearwater Dive Computer.

I hope Shearwater eventually releases an AI version. This ticks all the boxes for me except AI. I don’t have any near-term plans to jump into tech diving so I’m looking for a great recreational diving computer that is big and easy to read.

I’m buying my peregrine this Thursday. It’s my first dive computer and I just certified last summer. I’m stupid excited to get it wet.

Great review James! I love the fact that you actually try it out yourself.

Thanks for the review James! I'm new into scuba diving (20 dives) and been viewing your content tons since July, it has helped a lot - keep up the great work. I'm in the market for my 1st dive computer and would love for this to be the one :) Safe diving!

James, Not just great reviews but so easy to listen to, real world!!! Keep it up

I'm a beginning diver (again) who got certified back in college and am headed back out soon at age 49! I have no equipment and watches your 5 items needed.... this being one of them!! I sure would love to win it! I promise to soak it too!! 🙃

Hi James an interesting review I thought. I had expected another 'Oh you must have a shearwater' style video but I thought I thought you made a good case on this either way. Good to hear the negatives also for a change. The lack of AI is a deal braeker I would think for a lot of people, its a shame. Graet review though thnaks, enjoy watching you channel. 👍🏻👍🏻

Killing it with the music again!! Man!!

Getting into diving and have been binging through your videos, definitely earned a subscribe

Your videos have been improving my understanding of diving during my certification process. Thanks a lot!

This is why I watch your reviews. The internet should take notes on your work.

Nice, this is so much more valuable than the "hands" reviews as you put it (other than the obvious value of getting a feel for something by watching someone fiddle with it). I just got a Teric, but I'm sure some of my buddies will appreciate the upgrade, I'm directing them here. Thanks James :)

Hey James, always love your "Cons" section of the reviews, which other channels usually lack of. High quality video as always. Keep it up and thanks.

Been having other computers on the radar for my first buy, but this looks to be a contender. Thanks for putting this up!

First good review of the peregrine. Thanks James

I appreciate your integrity and actually review a product in real time!

Great “real world” review. Was thinking of this as a backup to my G2 when traveling and this may do the trick. Thanks!

You're a good guy doing helpful and entertaining videos. I hope I can achieve the channel success you have someday...well done!

I am just starting my diving journey (just certified a couple days ago) and I'm looking at getting a Peregrine as my first dive computer. I may some day want to go technical, but that won't be for a while yet.

New OW NAUI diver here. I’d use that when I dive to clean up garbage from Tampa Bay. I’m currently using an analog 3:1 Sherwood gauge and a dive table.

Definitely looks like an interesting computer, nice looking display too! Thanks for taking the time to dive it before giving us the run down!

Appreciate you putting the time in to make an honest review

My wife and I just got certified and neither of us have interest to get tec (at least at this point) but this would be the perfect gift for wifeys upcoming birthday.

I’m so glad you did this review. I’ve been wanting a dive computer for a while.

Great review! Loved the little skit at the beginning.

Great review! Have been following Diver's Ready since 10k follower, good job James, keep it up!

Love the review, the honest opinion from a professional like yourself always makes a bigger impression!

Nice and concise review! Hope to see more reviews in the future :D

Great review as always! I am actually looking at getting a shearwater dive computer so this was helpful.

Honesty is key always, great review!

I should get one for my junior diver. I am sure he cant see the numbers on the 8 year old zoop hand me down. good review.

I bought one after watching this review and i love it. its a great computer. tough, easy to operate, large display. its a very good computer.

Couldn’t thank you enough for that real „wet“ test! Awesome work, James! 👍

Love the reviews James. We've been vacation renters but looking to buy our own gear and your videos are very helpful

Just awesome review! Thank you!

Hello guys, new OW diver here from Malaysia! Looking for more diverse knowledge in diving before jumping into AOW and specialty course soon. Great content you have here! =)

Thanks for the chance to win. Love your channel. From another James

I could use a computer period, don't have one yet. I still use just dive tables. I am planning going further with my training, as of now I have rescue and plan on getting a few specialties. Maybe someday I will go off into the tech world but for now I enjoy diving whenever and wherever I can.

That’s what I call a great review! I’m already a shearwater fan but this computer takes it to another level. Thank you for such an in-depth review. I wonder how it would work under ice 😃😃

Yes!!!! 👌👌👌 I was waiting for this!

The alarm vibration function is a "must have" for people with hearing impairments. When I started diving I didn't realize I had some hearing loss in some frequencies and one frequency happened to be the one used by my i300C computer. My dive buddy heard my alarm and saw I wasn't reacting so he engaged. I've been eyeballing my computer like a green diver ever since so getting vibration alerts could, quite literally, be a life saver.

Thanks for that information and the serious review - you are the best Chanel on KZfaq!! 💪😇

Great review and thorough explanation of the products capabilities and limits.

Great review! Love the channel, keep up the good work.

“We take the time to get it wet”. That’s what she said.

Really nice review - solid and in depth. I fairly new to diving and have just bought one for myself and one for my wife - replacing our Zoop Novo's. Purely rec diving and as I need reading glasses I do hope to improve the readability of this computer due to the clear colorfull screen over the grey Zoom novo screen. diving both dry and wet suit in Scandinavia... and plan to take it into warm water later next year - If COVID-19 lets us. THANKS FOR A GREAT CHANNEL BTW

Great review! Makes me consider this Pergegrine as my new computer!!

Great review. A couple more shots of it underwater, especially looking at the screen at depth, would have been the cherry on the cake.

Hi James, thanks for the review! I’m thinking of getting one, you’re review is very useful.

I’m trying to get my dive gear first before going onto the course so I can start diving With money tight this would be a great prize and let me look into saving for other equipment I have my beady eyes on

Great competition and so nice of you.

That was great. A proper review and king honor attitude.

James I just subscribed (congrats you are the first channel i'm subscribed to) I enjoy your content lots of great information. I'd love to win that computer I've been diving with entry level gear and starting to figure out what features i like and dislike so within the next couple of seasons i'll be looking to upgrade probably everything so keep the honest reviews coming.

Great review! Would love to see more 'wet' reviews!

Good job on a proper review! We need more guys like you.

Great review James! As a new diver this may be just what I need.

Hello my friend, I’m a new diver and headed for my ERDI with my fire department I love watching you videos, they are very informative and help allot as I like to research before doing something. To receive this dive computer would be amazing and I would you it allot. I look forward to speaking with you even if I’m not the winnner and possibly diving together some time, stay safe and have a great day

Hi James, great review. I hav to say though, the quality of your videos is constantly increasing, content was always good but since you are in your new dive locker it seems you have rampt up your videos. I love it.

Excellent, definately looking for a new upgrade now !

Awesome vid as always. I think this would be a great recreational level dive computer as I'm currently uninterested in technical diving :)

Considering the Peregrine to be a first dive computer.

Excellent job as always!

Awesome Review James! Keep going with your great work! 🤿👌🏼

I am glad i have found this youtube channel dangg, I hope to win the dive computer since i don't have any and it is hella expensive in my country :(

Thank you James for the review. This is the first major piece of kit I've purchased after getting certified as a Scuba diver outside of the fins, mask, snorkel, boots and gloves needed for my cert classes and the DSMB that came with my learning materials. I also want to thank #askmark from Simply Scuba for the comparison against the Aqualung i330R. It really helped me make the choice between the two models. Being a Canadian living in California, a company from BC edged ahead with the hepatic alerts. #Askshawn I'm sorry I couldn't bring myself to buy the Teric just yet. I look forward to diving with it next month when I dive in Monterey, CA. To show love fort the work you do James, I purchased from your affiliate link. -Cory Huynh

So I had no intent on purchasing a computer honestly because the starter computer I had was "good enough." After watching this video though, and diving and trying the Peregrine the "computer" I had previously has now become a depth gauge and I quickly went out and purchased this computer. Quite frankly, I have found it really easy to program, incredibly easy to navigate and for someone that hates reading manuals - the folks at Shearwater have done an "Apple-like" design job in designing the core functionality so that an amateur can dive in and start using it. As an aside - you should read the manual of any computer (and I am sure James would agree and say "RTFM"). My only complaint is that it would be great to be able to retroactively combine dives when you do many short dives. Also - the strap is a bit short with a drysuit. Overall, this is an outstanding product with and outstanding value for money. #shearwater #peregrine #bestof2020 #diversready

Great review .. been considering getting one

Good review , congratulations James
