not a shearwater fan ?

[pauldw]

I know some Shearwater users. I know they are, because they make sure everyone knows they are. Frequently.

Extremely conservative algorithm, many reports of flooding. Other than that...

Just said the screen was nice.

I've been diving Oceanic for many years

I love my Oceanic Pro Plus 2.x. Very easy to use, Nitrox settings take seconds. And it is the ONLY piece of equipment I originally purchased after certification I have not upgraded. I just purchased the wife a Proplus 3 and I think I prefer my 2.

That being said, if Santa's elves will get off their Canadian butts and build me a Perdix AI, that would be really good too. I'll probably break down and buy one as long as my wife doesn't find out.

Until then, I really like my Oceanic...and no way to lose it either.

I think the compass could be better. It is on the Teric, but I don't own one of those. The traditional style compass is more to my liking, as in more of a top view. The Petrel is side view, which I have never really adopted. So much so that I still bring a traditional compass on dives that have navigation to them.

That's about the only part I am not a fan of.

+1 I am not loving the compass on the Petrel. In a drysuit i really cant hold the computer in the direction of travel, but 90 degrees off. This makes it very difficult to hold an accurate bearing. i need to look into a Teric as a backup and compass.

Dunno. The OP asked a question. Looks like the answer is "no"...!
