- At DEMA I was shown the new TERN and TERN TX Computers by Shearwater. Trisha walked Bob through all the new features of the TERN models. LINK coming soon...
Shearwater Research Inc. met with Bob to announce their latest offerings
designed with the sport diver in mind, the new Tern & Tern TX models are powerful, simple, reliable, and the most compact dive computers we have ever brought to market.
The Tern and the enhanced Tern TX, which boasts transmitter-enabled diving, capable of connecting with up to four Swift transmitters and includes a digital compass.
With a watch-style form factor, the 1.3” diameter AMOLED screen provides crystal-clear visibility in a variety of lighting conditions, making it easier than ever for divers to keep track of their crucial information.
The vibrant, best in class high-resolution display offers Shearwater’s renowned user interface that provides divers with at-a-glance access to vital data, ensuring a safer and more enjoyable diving experience.
“Building upon the success of the Peregrine and borrowing features from the Teric, the Tern and Tern TX make a great addition to the line.
Designed and built in Canada, The Tern & Tern TX are rated to 120 metres and tested to engineering EN standards for dive computer compliance.
They support Air, Nitrox, 3 Gas Nitrox, Gauge, and Freedive modes.
Available with all-new Shearwater Remora™ quick connect bands, divers can easily switch between long and short straps, or the colour strap of their choice.
Tern and Tern TX are priced for exceptional value at $650 USD and $775 USD retail.
Shipping commences January, 2024 and will be available to purchase

Does the $775 list price of the Tern TX include the transmitter? If not whats the list price of that?
No, the transmitter is separate. This Swift should be good. So you could get the TX and add the Trans later if that fits your budget better.

How does the battery compare to the Terric?
Don't have one to test yet is hard to really answer your question. Regards Bob C
Trisha is the best
She was great to work with, 1st take and she nailed it ! Bob C
Peregrine with AI and compass is surely next, basically same firmware and hardware just different screen?
Albert, I (we) believe you are spot on with your future guessing ! Bob C
Rather say that with AI and compass in a wrist computer you can get rid of that extra appendage (console) dangling and always somewhat cumbersome to grab especially when in a tight environment. IMO, consoles are a legacy, entry level item for those who wish to learn how to dive like a caveman instead of a cave diver.
Good points Bryan but not everybody wants to be a cave diver.
You will see most shops that have student / rental regs will incorporate their dive computers into consoles. Fewer lost wrist units that way and most folks that rent are just recreational divers and learned with that setup..
As a instructor, I prefer having a separate compass that I can hand to a student to work with, much easier than console mounted compasses.
Different methods and uses for different folks. Thanks for your comments. Bob C
Thank you for the video! I am really dissapointed with Shearwater, I was expecting that they go after Garmin and not just release another dive only computer to the already stacked b-league. IMO Garmin needs a challenger in the rec dive comp segment, Apple has also kicked the door in and the traditional brands are lacking behind. Like it or not, there are a lot of divers who want to use a multi purpose watch like product. To me, Shearwater R&D and market research has failed big time..
Thanks for your comment DVN. Understanding why and what their corporate mindset is we may never know but, your thoughts are likely shared by others.

This should’ve dropped instead of the Peregrine. I have the Peregrine and may end up getting this one
Hi Darth, It's going to be a very good seller for sure.. Regards Bob C
Why would someone buy this over a garmin
Likely number one would be price/cost between the two units and believe it or not, some folks don't want all the other things that the Garmin has.. I see it all the time. Thanks for your comment Bob C
price range is totally different
@@DidierWolfs Agree, one is $650, the other that's AI able is $775 plus the price of the transmitter.
I use a peregrine. And I like the idea that I use it exclusively for diving. Less chances it will get banged up or scratched. And the after sales service is the best.
@@angelolee9044 Hi Angelo, You know it's all about personal choice. I hear folks repeating your point of view and others saying they just want one unit for everything.
That's what's important is you're not forced into just one type computer. Be safe and thanks for your note ! Bob C
