Shearwater have made some enhancements to their product line, one of which is – Instead of adding GPS to a single new model, they have created a way to bring it to a much wider community of divers. With Swift GPS, your existing air-integrated Shearwater computer can now record and log your dive entry and exit points.
GPS is supported on Perdix AI, Perdix 2, Petrel 3, Peregrine TX, Teric, Tern TX, and NERD 2. Make sure to update your firmware to enable Swift GPS.
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.
