We have partnered with our favorite Dive Computer brand; Shearwater Research to bring you a deep dive into the considerations you should think about when buying your first , or next dive computer. We're starting by looking at the first decision you have to make when buying a new dive computer: which style dive computer do I want? In this video, we're looking at the two main styles: watch style and wrist mounted. And James is discussing why console computers should be relegated to history.

The Red Sea - offers almost everything close to each other on a single trip. Can’t wait to go back there again.!
Our favorite dive spot has to be the Red Sea in Egypt… it offers so much life and diversity and keeps giving and giving and giving - wrecks, flowers, fish, sharks etc…
Thanks again James for a first class UA-cam channel and for the selfie in the Philippines last year.. 😊🎉
Has to be the Andamans... Will always be my first love
My favourite destination still is Egypte. Favourite location….Elba reef! Simply wonderful!
Dream destination for me has to be the Philippines, everyone that’s dived there says it’s a must do destination.
I just visited the Red Sea and I have to say the SS Thislegorm was an awesome dive. One of my best.
Absolutely the Chuuk Lagoon also known as Truk Lagoon. This will be my dream dive
@Divers_Ready that's awesome. What's the next steps?
@@scubaal6407Deleted comment under yours, i hope you didn't get scammed!
@@catgroove1273 thankfully no. But I was cautious. Disappointing really😒
@@scubaal6407 yeah same
100% all around the Red Sea. Both for the incredible marine life, stunning reefs, but just as importantly the genuinely warm friendly & caring local Egyptians, who are so cool to hang with
favorite destination so far: Raja Ampat!!!
Favorite dive location? Tough call. ... It's between Cozumel and Puget Sound. I'll go with Puget Sound!
Been diving the entire East Coast of South Africa and huge diversity all round.
I never get bored diving on Kenya’s coast! Mombasa, Diani and Wasini have beautiful, untouched reefs, sharks, turtles, rays, and whales… what more could you want?
My dream dive destinations at the moment has got to be the SS Yongala and Ex-HMAS Brisbane in QLD. Massive wrecks with so much history
Don’t forget HMAS Tobruk midway between those 2! Was just at the Brissie last weekend such a great dive site.
I absolutely love diving Bonaire! Shore diving is addictive and the views are absolutely breathtaking! Also- for divers that the movement of boat doesn’t sit well with you- you don’t have that issue! The other great aspect about Bonaire is that it’s outside the hurricane belt so that issue isn’t an issue!
Now Saltstraumen in Bodö, Norway is my favorite. Only cold water diving for me now
The "simply the best" liveaboard route in the Red Sea has given me the best diving experiences I could ever imagine. Aliwal Shoal in South Africa is a close second. Cheers and thank you for the awesome content.
Greetings from Cyprus
I loved diving off Maui.
I dive regularly in Caesarea. love the underwater archaeology and the ever changing Mediterranean changed scenery.
My favourite destination is wherever I’m going next! Always looking forward to the next dive.
Diving in Puerto galera Philippines
Simply beautiful with all levels and styles of diving
Haven't used a watch type computer for years
Uwatec for ten years air z but simply Shearwater seems to be the way forward
My favourite dive site so far is in St. Ann Jamaica. Still looking forward to more dives
My favourite dives have been on Guadeloupe, diving in the warm Carribean waters with only a shorty and only 2 pounds of lead was just amazing. Still new to the whole diving though so favourite spot still changes every few months 😅
One comparison you could have added in this video: What about the long battery life dive computers like the Cressi Neon? They look like old Quartz watches pre smartwatch era and the batteries go on for years. How do they compare to fancier and more expensive computers? In terms of functonality they still cover the recreational basics including Nitrox.
Deleted comment under yours, i hope you didn't get scammed!
Zenobia wreck dive, Larnaca, Cyprus. I believe minimum is Advanced Open Water. Make sure you are at least deep and wreck certified to see most of it (lots of corridors); sidemount and one step of your chosen decompression ladder to explore all of the nooks and crannies. Even if you are a beginner Advanced Open Water, it still has plenty to see... and may even make you hungry for more training.
Bucket List Dive Destination: Truuk Lagoon. Love wrecks!
I've done most of my diving in the Puget Sound and all of my diving in the US, so I'll have to say the St. Lawrence River in NY is my favorite, but the Mid-Atlantic region has some great diving and I really want to dive Chuuk.
Newly certified as an open water diver but my vote would be Roatan/Utila, Honduras. Lots to see in clear water in a wonderful location.
My favorite is Cozumel: good value in travel, food, and dives; island culture; and cenotes nearby.
Without a doubt, my favorite dive location is the one I'm diving at the moment that you ask, wherever that may be! We are fortunate to have a great variety of dive spots and so it is tough to pick one as a favorite! I'm based on the East Coast United States and so, if pressed, I'm picking a local dive: The U853 off Block Island is not only a great wreck to dive, but it represents a piece of the nation's history, and it surprises my non-diving friends to learn that U-Boats came so close to the shores of the US.
Hard to choose a favorite dive destination, but for me Kauai is special. I know I’m a bit of an outlier on this. Coral reef is not spectacular, but the variety of large and small critters, many endemic, is very cool. And then after the dive, well, you’re still in Hawaii!
Deleted comment under yours, i hope you didn't get scammed!
I just wrapped up my third dive trip to Roatan, Honduras, and again absolutely loved the diving there - and my Peregrine performed perfectly -- 13 dives and maybe 85 percent battery life left. I bring the charger with me on my dive trips, but have yet to need it.
Love diving in Mauritius. Warm waters, clear water. Dives for every levels
Best dive so far, Vandenburg!!!!!!!!!! Key West , Florida!
Great content, thanks so much!! My favorite dive this year was Bonaire.
Deleted comment under yours, i hope you didn't get scammed!
Has to be Leuben gravel pit in Dresden, Germany.
I got certified there and froze my ass off in early May. It taught me that anything beyond 3m was awesome vis and about a week after my certification they recovered a body from it.
10/10 would dive again!
Deleted comment under yours, i hope you didn't get scammed!
I’ve owned many computers since the early 90’s and never found the perfect computer until now! The Shearwater Perdix is the computer for me. I was a tech diver until I turned 70 and decided to stay shallower. It serves me well. My favorite dive location is the Philippines. Love the location. Living on Bonaire, that says a lot. Thanks for the series. Love your attitude and straightforward approach.
Egypt is probably my dream diving location! But literally anywhere warm and tropical.
My favorite dive destination is Egypt, close enough for a short haul flight from the uk, it has wrecks, reefs, and both shore and liveaboard options!
Great video James. Congratulations on the ShearWater Colab, looking at getting a Shearwater myself, it’s a fantastic bit of kit from what I’ve heard
My favorite dive destination so far has been the Blackbeard's live-aboard in the Bahamas, although I haven't been diving that long. Many more to come!
My favorite dive so far has been the USS Oriskany in Pensacola, Florida.
Love your content, James! Keep it comin’!
Dive safe, dive often!
Nate from Destin, Florida.
I haven’t been yet but I am looking forward to traveling to Grand Cayman this coming January
Deleted comment under yours, i hope you didn't get scammed!
Favourite dive destination: Scapa. Loads of history, interesting and challenging dives and some pretty nature too.
Favorite for being all about diving is Coco View in Roatan. Favorite for wrecks is North Carolina and Florida. Dream destination is Truk
Dream destination: Truuk Lagoon
Current favorite: Tuna-Hästberg mine in Sweden, because it is awesome and still fresh in my memory :)
Favorite dive destination so far is Kona, Hawaii. Admittedly there haven't been many yet.
Bali - Nusa Penida has several great spots to dive. Warm waters, drift diving, bamboo shark, mantas, mola mola, dolphins .... what's not to love.
My son and I are fairly new divers (50 dives each) but our favorite spot so far is Bonaire. You can dive at your own pace and as much as you want.
Favorite trip was to Belize. Fantastic wall dive!
James, congrats on catching Shearwater's eyes. IMO, they're one of the best companies, with the best customer service, in the industry.
Even though I still do not have a Shearwater computer, I am very much looking forward to my next upgrade... Just through my second-hand experience, through my regular group of dive buddies, I have witnessed the customer service support provided by SW... Amazing, based on what I have seen.
I currently dive the Luna with AI (for the past 10 years), and have never had issues, but it's HUGE on my wrist... Whenever my current DC dies, or exhibits issues, I'm going SW for sure. (And when my bank acct will allow me... Hey, dive-travel ain't cheap! Hahahaha)
I've not dived in a huge number of places, but I was lucky enough to go to the Maldives on honeymoon. That's my favourite place to dive.
My favourite dive destination is Vanuatu. Nice warm water, great visibility, and it was the first place I ever dived, so it will always be special for me.
Mexicooooo! Love diving cozumel and cenotes on the yucatan! Now get on up here to the great lakes for some nice cold diving! Love the content as always, and I share your fanboyism for Shearwater all the way. Thanks again - a loyal Canadian follower
Getting ready to do my favorite dives off west palm beach and will be trying my perdix 2 for the first time
Definitely SS Thistlegorm, Red Sea, Egypt, my next dream destination for a dip!
I just showed my girlfriend your manta dive in Hawaii and that’s now our number one in the list!
The best dive I have had (so far) was the Shark Arena off Mauritius. Challenging negative entry, an interesting route into the Arena, and the wonderful experience of ~30 reef sharks chilling out in the heavily aerated wash zone. The fact that we were "intercepted" by the sharks on the arena exit (not seen by the guides before), allowing for even more time viewing them (admittedly with some anxiety of gas consumption) just put the cherry on the icing on the cake :)
Favorite dive destination: Cave country, Florida
Excited for the new series! Have been diving a Tern for the past couple months and loving it so far. Favorite destination is the Yucatan for cenote diving, which thus far has been my absolute favorite style of diving. For blue water, I'll give a nod to north Fiji in the Vitu-i-Ra Conservation Park!
Turks and Caicos hands down. Everything passes by when migrating through the Winward Passage: humpbacks, whalesharks, oceanic mantas, most species of shark and the walls are amazing.
Cozumel is my go-to dive site. Three hours from the house to the water. BonneTerre Mine is probably my favorite spot.
Puerto Rico has all my favorite dive destinations!
I have been a divemaster since August 1990. Of all the places I have had the opportunity to dive, my best location I have been to was in Indonesia. I stayed at the Siladen resort and had wonderful dives every day. I love my Petrel 3 dive computer.
My favorite place to dive so far is Bonaire.
I’m looking forward to the series. I’ve been struggling between a standalone Petrel 3 and a Perdix 2 as a backup for rebreather diving.
Deleted comment under yours, i hope you didn't get scammed!
I'm from the Mediterranean Sea, and I've only been out of herre in a trip to the Red Sea, so The Red Sea is my favourite, by now...
Favourite destination so far is Aliwal Shoal just south of Durban, South Africa. Honourable mention is Fish Rock off South West Rocks, NSW Australia. Both outstanding destinations that never seem to fail to not disappoint. Dream destination is Sipidan and some of the lesser known areas in Malaysia. Only ever heard good things about Malaysia!
Have not yet been able to dive in the ocean till this coming spring. Only been diving lakes, quarries and rivers. Norfork lake in mountain home has been the best so far.
I’m new so my limited experiences have been in Vortex Springs Fla. I’m really looking forward to an upcoming trip to Cayman Brach next season. The first kit priority I made (after the fins and mask) was Shearwater’s Peregrine TX and Swift transmitter. My eyes like the bigger screen and the level of tech spoils you immediately! It’s just beautifully designed. It was your idea actually James so I hope they appreciate you.
Favorite so far has been Cozumel.
Definitely the more turbid and colder waters of the Netherlands and Belgium. love the Oosterschelde and the old quarries. Bit more challenging but oh so beautiful
Gozo, Malta. Full of interesting wrecks at accessible depths!
Still using my air integrated Suunto Cobra console computer. Never going to forget it as attached to the reg, only need to change batteries every 1-2 years, big enough screen and, oddly I manage to remember to check it every few minutes.
I am an old school Jersey wreckster, still my favorite place to go!
Favorite dive location is definitely Cozumel. Granted, we haven’t done a whole lot of travel outside the US and the Caribbean, but I sure do love Cozumel’s diving.
I love diving in the Puget Sound - cold water makes it challenging plus there is plenty of sea life.
Favorite Destination. Grand Cayman, Ocean Frontiers, East End
Just getting started in my scuba adventures... but Roatan has been great.
I had my favourite dives in the very rich waters of the Oman. I highly recommend to go diving there. It is awesome!
I love diving South Florida around Pompano Beach. Great mix of drift dives and wreck dives.
Just done my first trip to the Great Barrier Reef and it's now definitely my favourite dive location!
Truk island is on the bucket list, and I definitely can't wait to dive it. Waiting until I'm at least to the 200ft trimix level on my breather.
Deleted comment under yours, i hope you didn't get scammed!
Sadly I don't travel much, but I love to dive in Spain, I met great people there and most are still my friends, since my first time there!
As very new diver I dove only in Mexico (Pacific coast and Caribbean) and Turkey so far, plan to dive in Red Sea. However Cozumel, where I did my Open Water is my favourite place so far.
Looking forward to the rest of the series! My favorite dive location is definitely Yucatan, the caves there, to be precise
Favourite dive destination. Although I currently live on Bonaire, my favourite destination is Sipadan.I was there when you could stay on the island.
For sure Semporna, Malaysia! Actually any dive sites in Malaysia are my favourite!!
My favorite dive location is definitely Cozumel. Simply beautiful
My favourite is Bahamas
James, Great video as always. I thought the technical snorkeling was funny (I call it advanced snorkeling -- may change it.) I have been using my Sherwater Perdix AI for since April 2019. I love it. A few of my dream places are: Antarctica, Silfra Iceland, Palau..... been teaching since 1984.
Would love to work my way towards some deep wrecks like the Oriskany, but I'm happy getting any opportunity to dive!
Favourite dive destination? Pre typhoon and Covid would have been Moalboal Philippines. You had the distinction of a wicked wall and guaranteed sardines, possibility of whale sharks, pescador island and some really cool sites, coupled with an amazing dive shop and manager/staff at Cebu Dive Center (RIP CDC). But like everything in life, it moves on
Favorite dive destination so far: Kona. Place at the top of my list to visit: Raja Ampat.
My favourite destination is Lake Vierwaldstättersee! (And I’ve been a proud owner of the Shearwater Perdix 2 computer for years, thanks to your channel!)
My favorite has to be Narvik, in northern Norway. Untouched wrecks with the most beautiful mountains surrounding.
Too many places on my wish list for diving to go into, but love diving in Roatan. Beautiful reefs.
Well was raised in Oz so Great Barrier Reef but have been located in Europe and Diving a lot in Sardinia, which is my go to place and my favorite place to dive .
I relatively new diving so I don't have a whole lot of dives in yet but so far favorite dive spot has probably been either Bonne Terre Mine or Table Rock Lake.
Greetings from a german diver sitting in Bali for scuba-holiday and watching your newest Video 🙋🏼♂️
USS SPEIGEL GROVE one of the best dive sites to visit! hands down! right here in Florida too! you can dive this wreck 1000 times and always see something different
Favorite dive destination is the Cenotes of Tulum. Can’t wait to go back
The isle of Elba in the mediterranean sea - great place for diving!
Favourite dive site so far, Tenggol Island in Malaysia
Really enjoyed diving cabbage tree bay aquatic reserve in Sydney. I have been going back and forth on the shearwater form factor, so this video was well timed. Thank you.
