Hello Turk! I’m experiencing a similar problem with my Perdix AI, specifically with the right button. In my case, it’s even worse because the button came off slightly, and since it was under the silicone case, I didn’t notice it. Water got inside when I started the dive. I was waiting for the computer to turn on, but it never did. I started panicking when I noticed water inside the screen compartment. That’s when I began checking for leaks and found the right button out of place.I bought it in 2019, so it’s now 5 years old with 200 dives. I checked the battery compartment, and it was completely dry, with the battery in good condition. I’m from Portugal and have already contacted Shearwater’s support center in Europe. They’ve asked me to send my unit without any accessories. I mailed it to them today and am now waiting for their feedback once they receive it.I have a friend who has had a Teric for several years without any issues and was completely satisfied. He had one issue with the depth sensor, and they replaced it with a brand new unit. I’ll see what my experience will be in the coming weeks. I was searching for similar problems on the web and found your video, which I appreciate you sharing. It gave me some peace of mind.

I like the video, and that is how I teach it, too. I never understood why it was done another way. In case of a real emergency, the diver who learned it this way will always have air. The person who does make bubbles and can’t recover will panic, make an emergency ascent, and not remember at this moment that he has an octopus. I asked this question to all advanced students who did their basic training elsewhere, and they even told me this.

Switching my computer to my right hand. Didn't even think about this. Although I can still see it, it does take more effort and I can eliminate that just by swapping the arm it is on. Thanks for the tip. I was taught 1 handed air signaling in OW, probably because my instructor is also a tech diver. He had a lot of pet peeves, but they seem legit. We dove in a shared grotto, it wasn't until I saw some of the other instructors from other shops until I really understood his reasoning and appreciated the way he taught us. From my 4 OW dives, my pet peeves are: - Excessive noise makers, clickers, bangers, etc. Especially in an instructional environment. If you have to use those, you do not have your students attention nor respect (my opinion). - The word "flippers" LOL. - Unprepped - foggy masks. I know it can happen to anyone, but the over abundance of unprepped masks was staggering. It doesn't take taking a scuba course to learn how to prep a mask. - Cheapskates - I am 100000% all for getting a good deal, budgeting your money around. Especially on initial investments. BUT - buying the cheapest crap you can find because it is cheap - then knocking on the guys with higher quality gear as if they are elitists, bougie, or whatever, is just stupid and a pet peeve. I heard one guy say "I'm going home and ordering everything from Temu and Ali-Express." Sadly, he was dead serious.
@pranadive27 күн бұрын
Noise makers/tank bangers drive me crazy and I agree with you. -They are fins! LOL I have never seen anyone make fun of someone for having high-end gear unless it is someone with 7 dives and they are decked out, from head to toe, in the most expensive things their local dive centers sell. But I would say that it is the dive center that should be shamed and not the diver. You put people in the best gear you have, would recommend and dive yourself that also fits into their budget. No need sell them a less than optimal item because it has higher margins.

This is how I learned as well. I was also taught an alternative to the sweep by the leg, to sweeping by your ear. top hose should be primary. I have longer arms, so that is my preferred method in my VERY short diving career :). Both my son and I like training - whether it is in cycling, with firearms, etc. - we plan to treat scuba exactly the same. We have plenty of places to dive here in FL - fresh and saltwater. But we do enjoy just training and practicing as well, it is fun but also helps to avoid the accident train when it comes rolling through.
@pranadive27 күн бұрын
The swipe by the ear is what we call the "reach method" and it works for some and not so well for others. Turk used to work in Florida, in Lauderdale by the Sea. Keep doing what you are doing. Practicing on every dive is a great thing.
@JeffBurow28 күн бұрын
My son and I just got certified 2 weeks ago. He bought a Turn TX because he wanted a watch to wear every day, I bought the Peregrine TX. He was allowed to use his on his last 2 certification dives. Seeing that in action, I was immediately sold. Is it more than we really need as brand new OW divers, probably. But I couldn't be happier and I've not eve gotten mine wet yet. I'm sure it will be worth every penny.

Why would they shift? They are under tension once wrapped around the valve post and hold perfectly. They slide up and down the harness due to not being under tension

So I am a raid instructor; have taught this as well. Draw backs I’ve found is that this reg recovery couldn’t be performed if your buddy were using the alternate air source which is most often when it would be deployed, the second is that adding an extra step can (NOT ALWAYS) induce more anxiety in a diver that is panicking. I’ve found best practice is to teach them BOTH ways to ensure they are as confident in all situations
@pranadive29 күн бұрын
We have not noticed either of those but we appreciate the observations based on your experience. As for the extra step, we have actually found throughout our teaching that switching to AAS reduces the anxiety a new diver gets. They can easily find it, take a couple sanity breaths and then solve the problem.

youre right, not many colour grading tutorials for underwater footage. Even less so for GoPro cameras. This helped me alot more than learning how to change the colour of a car.... What settings are you using on your gopro? Lights, filters?
@pranadiveАй бұрын
Glad this helped. I have also seen how to change the color on a car and thought it was useless for me. We use lights when we need them. Cloudy days or deeper dives but for sunny days and shallow dives, we don't use them or filters. The filters can be great if you don't white balance and color match in post but if you do, I don't see a need for them. Currently I use the GoPro 12 on a tray with two Orcatorch 910v lights. Shooting in 4k at either 60 FPS or 120 FPS. I think I will do a video on the settings we use here and go through them all.

I always have my second regulator attached with a necklace around my neck, but it’s easy to pull it out of the necklace if ever needed, my second regulator is not an octopus, but a complete regulator with first stage.. One more thing, it’s easy to do thing in warm clear tropical waters, but try the same thing’s in Cold 🥶 murky and dark water with a thick dry suit, and 7 mm three finger gloves 🧤 😄

About blowing the valve Before attaching the Regulator.. I have experienced small bugs sitting in the small bore in the Tank valve, and even experienced a crushed bug in my first stage filter! So I always give a little blow with my valve, before attaching the first stage to the Tank valve, and I don’t give a shit if somebody finds that annoying! 🤔 I don’t like squashed Bugs or dirt, or water, or anything else in my first stage.. About drying the cap, I agree, just dry it with a towel, no need for blowing!

My first dive computer was an Aqualung i330r integrated with the pressure gauge,.. the computer crashed on me after just 18 dives (I’m AOW certified, so hadn’t taken it further than around 95ft below). Aqualung repaired it but it wiped out the last 3 dives I did. I bought my wife a Shearwater Peregrine after she decided to become my lifelong Scuba-buddy and finished her OW certification, and after seeing how well hers worked and all the features, I bought another Shearwater Peregrine for myself. I’m looking forward to using it for the first time in our upcoming dives in Cozumel in a couple of weeks. Keeping my Aqualung as my backup. My wife loves hers and hopefully I won’t ever have to buy another dive computer,… thanks for sharing your experience with Shearwater, I have even more confidence now that buying these two Shearwater Peregrines was a very good investment.

Garmin does this too. I scratched my screen and called them to see what options I had to get the screen replaced. They took a deposit and sent me a new one so I could keep diving. When I got the new one I sent the scratched one back and they refunded my deposit. My out of pocket cost was $172 with tax. A little more than the $47 but shoot I’ll take a new computer every couple years for that.
