NEW FIRMWARE RELEASE NOW AVAILABLE V102

A new firmware release is available to support Swift GPS functionality across Shearwater air integrated dive computers - Perdix 2, Perdix AI, NERD 2, Petrel 3, and Peregrine TX. Updates for Tern TX and Teric will follow later this year.

There has also been a change to the default value of GF Low to 50%. So the default Tec mode GF is 50/70 (previously 30/70). The default Rec mode GF fixed conservatism values are now 50/75 (high), 50/85 (med), and 50/95 (low). The effect of increasing GF Low is to move the deepest decompression stops shallower. The default values of GF High are unchanged. NDL dives are not affected at all. The dives that are affected are ones that require mandatory decompression.

Please see the release notes specific to your model for details. https://shearwater.com/pages/support

Not a very accurate title, but a catastrophic chain of events demonstrating poor judgement on the part of the instructors

Eliminating the quarter-turn back on the cylinder valve.

Make it your standard practice to gently and completely turn on your air. If you’re an instructor, consider not teaching students the quarter-turn back.

Shearwater Firmware V99 for Perdix 2 has just been released. This update adds Avelo Mode as an unlockable upgrade, and also improves the battery gauge.

Note, there are new storage recommendations depending on which type of battery you are using. To summarize, if you are using a 1.5V Lithium, you can leave the battery installed during storage. 1.5V Alkaline batteries should still be removed during storage as they are prone to leakage.
