Shearwater Research Teric (limited edition)

1 year ago By Rosemary E Lunn

With the start of a new decade and the Chinese New Year, perhaps that is why Shearwater Research has chosen to issue a limited edition version of their popular 'Teric' watch style computer in this significant colour combination.

Just 2,000

This is the first time that the award-winning Canadian company has released a limited-edition, and the matte gold-coloured bezel and a vivid red strap does look quite special. However, you will need to move fast to get your paws on one because just 2,000 have been manufactured. Each Teric is uniquely numbered and comes with a metal gold-coloured certificate of authenticity signed by Shearwater Research founder, Bruce Partridge.

Charger and Case

The Teric was originally launched two years ago. This version comes with an eye-catching red ballistic travel case and it has a wireless charger.

Shearwater dive computers have earned a much deserved reputation for being easy to use because they feature intuitive menus and interfaces.

Narked at 90 Petrel Custom Coloured Bezel

1 year ago By Rosemary E Lunn

The British manufacturer 'Narked at 90' (who incidentally distribute Shearwater in the UK) have launched a custom coloured bezel. Although you can already personalise the start up 'splash screen' with your name or an image, it is still quite possible to pick up someone else's computer when you are distracted, hence this looks as though it could be a handy "this is mine" identifier.

A more protected Petrel

At present the Polycarbonate screen is quite robust and can take a knock. However some divers have been known to torque down the screws that hold the screen in place and this can compress the screen. The screen can then crack or micro cracks can develop around the screw holes. The polycarbonate screen is also predisposed to chemical damage. Narked at 90 states that the method of fitting the Titanium screen does not rely on the screw holes, therefore the screen cannot be squashed, giving it better longevity.

tion. Using this ball mount makes all diving-related data visible right on top of the housing’s viewfinder. When the dive computer’s vibration alarm is activated, underwater photographers can “feel” the vibration notifications while still having their hands on the handles of the housing.
