Is Shearwater Peregrine good?
The Peregrine has a clear, easy-to-read color screen, supports Nitrox, and is super user-friendly. It’s also durable and lightweight, making it great for travel. While it doesn’t have a compass, it’s a solid choice for recreational diving and will grow with you as you advance. I recently took it on a night dive in Roatan, and the full color display at night was fantastic. The Peregrine TX offers everything a diver could need—a spacious, easy-to-read display, user-friendly controls, excellent battery life, and air integration. It’s a reliable choice for divers of all ages and skill levels.
How deep can a shearwater dive?
In addition to being expert aerialists, Sooty Shearwaters are amazing divers. They pursue fish underwater and can dive as deep as 220 feet below the surface, using their wings to propel themselves. The Sooty Shearwater is a seabird that’s smaller than a Herring Gull. It’s a large shearwater, with dark brown body and brown wings. Its bill is dark and when seen close up, there is a pale band along the underneath of the wings.
Does the Shearwater Peregrine have a compass?
The Peregrine is a dive computer focused on single gas air and nitrox diving, and light 3-gas nitrox technical diving. The Peregrine TX contains all the features of the original Peregrine but also includes more advanced features, such as air integration capability and a tilt compensated digital compass. The Peregrine TX supports hoseless gas pressure integration, sometimes called air integration (AI). The Peregrine TX is capable of wirelessly connecting to optional transmitters giving the diver ability to monitor up to four tank pressures.
How fast can Shearwaters fly?
Short-tailed Shearwaters belong to the same family as petrels and prions (Procellariiformes) with dark brown feathers, a hooked beak and their narrow wings span 90cm, which allows them to fly as fast as 85km an hour as they voyage across the open oceans skimming and diving for pelagic prey. Shearwaters earned their name by their ability to cut – or shear – the water with their wings, although until recently they were known as ‘muttonbirds’.
