Beneath the waves, history sleeps. But with the new Shearwater Perdix 2 Journeys Edition, you won’t just dive – you’ll explore, uncover, and experience the underwater world in a whole new way. At Mike’s Dive Store, we’ve been fans of the Perdix line for years. It’s consistently one of our top recommendations for divers who want a rugged, reliable, and powerful dive computer – whether you’re just moving beyond open water or deep into the world of technical diving.
Now, new for 2025, Shearwater have released something special: the Perdix 2 Journeys Edition. And we’re genuinely very excited about it.
A Striking New Look: Bronze That Belongs Beneath the Waves
Visually, this edition is a real head-turner. The bronze-coloured titanium bezel is a beautiful nod to the age of exploration – shipwrecks, sunken cities, forgotten caves – and feels right at home in the deep. It's not just about looks either: this is tough, expedition-grade kit, ready for harsh conditions.
Special Packaging for the Special Edition
Adding to the collector’s appeal, the Journeys Edition comes in special packaging, with a custom sleeve wrapped around Shearwater’s signature ballistic nylon case. It features vivid artwork that celebrates epic underwater destinations – a nice touch that makes it a great gift or personal milestone marker.
Why Divers Love the Perdix 2
Let’s talk performance. If you know Shearwater, you know they don't mess about when it comes to function – and the Perdix 2 is no exception.
It’s got all the tech and features serious divers need:
- Air, Nitrox, Trimix – from recreational dives to technical expeditions
- OC Tec mode for multi-gas trimix decompression
- CC/BO (Closed Circuit / Bailout) for fixed PPO2
- Gauge mode with stopwatch and logging
- Quick OC bailout for rebreather divers
- 3-axis digital compass (tilt-compensated – finally!)
- Bühlmann GF algorithm with optional VPM-B or DCIEM
Built Like a Tank, Reads Like a Dream
- Armoured titanium casing and aluminosilicate glass lens for serious durability
- Bright 2.2” LCD screen with 320x240 resolution – super clear, even in murky UK waters
- Strong vibration and customisable alerts – especially good with thick gloves or in noisy environments
- Bluetooth connectivity for quick syncing with Shearwater Cloud on mobile or desktop
Air Integration That Grows With You
Planning to stay in the game long term? The Perdix 2 supports up to four Shearwater transmitters, so it grows with your diving – from a first transmitter to full twinset with stage tanks. A great long-term investment.
Battery Life That Actually Delivers
Shearwater gets top marks here. The user-replaceable AA battery means no proprietary chargers or fiddly cables. Just pop in a fresh one, and you’re set.
Battery Life Estimates:
- Lithium 1.5V (recommended): Up to 60 hours
- AA Alkaline: Up to 40 hours
- Saft LS14500: Up to 100 hours
Note: Vibration alert only works with lithium (1.5V non-rechargeable or 3.7V rechargeable).
