The Tern and Tern TX dive computer by Shearwater has been specifically designed for sport divers, boasting powerful, simple, and reliable features that make it stand out from the rest.
It is the most compact dive computer that Shearwater has ever brought to the market. The watch-style form factor, along with 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 Tern dive computer offers Shearwater’s renowned user interface that provides divers with at-a-glance access to vital data. This ensures a safer and more enjoyable diving experience for enthusiasts.
The Tern is depth-rated to 120 meters and tested to engineering EN standards for dive computer compliance. It supports Air, Nitrox, 3 Gas Nitrox, Gauge, and Freedive modes, making it an ideal option for anyone seeking a compact sport-diving computer.
According to Jason Leggatt, CEO of Shearwater Research Inc., "The Tern is an affordable option for anyone seeking a compact sport-diving computer. Building upon the success of the Peregrine and borrowing features from the Teric, the Tern makes a great addition to our product line.
The Tern is designed and built in Canada, with a focus on providing superior diving experiences for enthusiasts

Also, it is nearly impossible to overstate how phenomenal Shearwater's customer support is.
We have excellent service from them... We had a Teric with Battery issues.. BOOM they replacement the unit. Regards Bob C
Shearwater never disappoints with innovative products!
They do a great job ! Thanks for the comment DD... Regards Bob C
I have the Peregrine. My Tern was just delivered today. I can’t wait to dive with it.
Tern has great vis and is easy to wear.. Congrats Bob C
The SCREEN is 1.39" across on the Teric and 1.3" on the Tern. The case diameter is a lot bigger. That's 55mm on the Teric and 50mm on the Tern. The Tern is still a chunky watch for everyday wear. With the screen size reduction also comes a reduction in the resolution. From 400x400 on the Teric to 360x360 on the Tern, but as far as I can tell from the manual it maintains the same customizability as the Teric.
Also nice to know that the Tern Tx & Transmitter pack still contains separate EVA cases for both the watch and the transmitter. They just come in a single box.
All good comments. Thanks Bob C
Just got my Tern Tx. Like a nerd, I'm wearing it like a watch.
There's nothing wrong with that ! Regards Bob C
Can't wait to pick mine up!
It's on the back shelf awaiting your arrival ! BC
Sir which one u suggest me between mares sirius vs tern tx has my first dive computer (rescue diver)
I'd have to go Tern TX.. Thanks for your question.. Bob C
At 9:20, the reason for the screen protector is because Shearwater didn't use a sapphire crystal on the Tern. The Teric has a sapphire crystal, and doesn't need a screen protector because there's nothing on earth outside of diamonds etc. that will scratch it. Why didn't Shearwater use a sapphire crystal on the Tern? Only they know. Cost is no excuse, as there are plenty of very cheap ($100) wristwatches that use sapphire crystals.
Hi Bob! I have an unrelated question regarding the Axiom BCD... I felt in love with the BCD with your videos and was planning to buy it, but now I'm worried about Aqualung's current situation... Would you still recommend to buy an Axiom now, or wait a little/see alternatives?
I'm mostly worried about warranty/parts availability if anything fails/suspect that products could come with lower quality so they can save some money...
Any inputs would be amazing to avoid making a bad decision! Thanks a lot!!
This is a fair enough question SSVV and not trying to be funny but no crystal ball in my closet. Lots of stories going around and some may be a bit blown out of true context for AQL. I don't have skin in that game but seemed they are moving to fix their issues. I really doubt that the Axiom would be a casualty from what's going on.
In reality, I've been an Axiom diver pretty much since they became available. No issues here, I also spoke to our service department and other than the service needed on the I-3 version we just don't get them in for problems.
I've owned 3 over the past 9 years, one being the I-3 and just don't have issues. Over these years, I usually am diving 42 weeks or 52, and pool work added to that. If someone was going to have issues I think it'd been me.
Just do your rinses inside and out, don't dive over-weighted and store in a cool dry environment if at all possible.
I have seen where one owner tried to claim a warranty issue on one, but it was pretty obvious that he had dropped something on the BC that caused the damage.
I just bought a 2023 Axiom ( I do not get them for free ) and am confident in spending my hard earned $$.
Regards, Bob C
@@DiversSupplyYT Thanks Bob for your thorough reply, that's super helpful, really appreciate the time you took! I really want to have an Axiom due to my back, but where I'm based (Chile) it's a little difficult to know the reality of Aqualung's operations right now.
A follow up in case you could ... seeing the size chart, I'm probably a size M, and I have only two options here... get a normal Axiom size ML one week from now, or get an Axiom 2023 size M in three weeks (at a 2-3x price of the normal). Do you think an ML would fit me well with a 7mm wetsuit if I'm:
5'7'' Height
170lb (but going down, I was 180 a couple months ago and goal is 162)
37-38 Waist
44-45 Shoulder
A yes/no answer if the ML will fit me well would be the only thing I need, I don't want to take more time off you... Thanks again and hope you have a great afternoon!
What size NATO strap do you use for your Teric?
I have a 22mm on mine, 24mm is too wide... Regards Bob C
@@DiversSupplyYT Thank you for the quick response and info.
Has anyone had any dives with these yet? I'm not a technical diver so would never do CC or more mixes than 3...so I think this will be good for me.
I'm still waiting on Shearwater to send me one. We've sold A BUNCH... Bob C
I would personally would prefer to see a peregrine watch with AI, rather than another small watch style new product. I do own the Teric and the short battery plus small display just don’t do it for me so much.
I believe your wish will soon become a reality...
Since cost isn't an issue for you (you have the Teric) why not just get the Perdix or even the Petrel? Because they're not rechargeable?
@@nickd8052 I find both to be a bit too large and cumbersome, but yes I might do that and sell my Teric.
