Question What alarms do you want on your dive computer?

Looks like haptic alarms have been added on the next generation of petrel and perdix computers. that's a pretty big deal for a ccr handset IMO. Shearwater Research Announces The Release of The Perdix 2 & Petrel 3 Dive Computers |

And AI for all Petrel 3 models, too!

Wait, where is the Peregrine AI?

I doubt I'd feel a haptic alarm through my dry suit. I wonder what percentage of CCR divers dive dry suits vs wet suits. I'll start another poll.

EDIT: poll created here: Question - What exposure protection do you use?

I just emailed Kiss to see if I can get the Petrel 3 for my unit that’s on order (probably won’t have it until the fall).

Interesting. That must be a fairly strong vibration then, yes?

Not a CCR diver but I can feel my Teric's haptic alarms through my trilam drysuit and 300g undergarment. I wonder where the thickness cutoff is where it gets muted.

I don't feel the Teric haptic alarms through a wetsuit. After a try, I turned them back off. I do not depend on alarms, I pay attention to my computer, how novel.

that's where I'm at, but I also have a NERD2. I would have to be narced out of my mind to not be able to pay attention, but if that happens, what the h3ll am I doing diving the wrong gas for DIL? If the only changes are haptic feedback, this does zero for me. However, that is me. Others may love haptic alarms.
