Shearwater Lands on Deepblu Connect
Shearwater Research, a veritable force in the dive equipment world and household name for divers the world over, has chosen to become part of Deepblu’s “Elite Fleet,” making them the third brand, following Scubapro and TUSA, to add Deepblu Connect functionality. Shearwater’s addition to Deepblu Connect will now allow Shearwater users to seamlessly upload their dive logs and the information supplementing them to the Deepblu app, eliminating the need for the old, soggy, ink-and-paper logs and making it easier to log in the digital age of diving.
Based in Richmond, British Columbia, in a brief span of thirteen years Shearwater now commands a leading position designing and manufacturing dive computers and rebreather electronics. With roots in technical diving, Shearwater dive computers feature intuitive menus and interfaces that make them easy to use for divers at all development levels. The company provides advanced diving electronics to users all over the world. Known for being reliable, user friendly, and easy to read underwater, Shearwater’s computers are designed to improve the journey for divers everywhere.
The brand currently has three models integrating into Deepblu, with one more in the near future. The Petrel 2, Perdix, and Perdix AI are now useable with the dive logging app, in addition, NERD 2 connectivity is coming soon. With user customizable menus, all four models are fully capable of handling dives ranging from simple entry levels to the more complex, multi gas rebreather dives pushing the limits of modern diving capabilities. Perdix AI is extremely popular due to its rugged design, bright display and air integration. NERD 2 is an innovative computer that allows divers to unobtrusively access all their dive information with a glance to the near eye remote display.
Shearwater president Steve Prescesky says:
“At Shearwater we pride ourselves in providing the best possible service to our customers. By joining Deepblu’s ‘Elite Fleet’ we seek to further enhance dive logging and sharing capabilities available to our customers.”
Deepblu CEO James Tsuei says:
“Deepblu is excited to welcome Shearwater to the platform and have them as a Deepblu Connect partner. Utilizing the Deepblu platform along with Shearwater computers will enhance the way divers capture their dives. With the Shearwater integration, more interesting users will also be introduced to the community.”

Over the next 12 months, specialist scuba holiday company Dive Worldwide will be supporting Bite-Back Shark & Marine Conservation with donations collected from client bookings to any one of its stunning dive destinations around the world. The independently-owned operator expects to raise £3000 for the UK charity.
Manager at Dive Worldwide, Phil North, said: “We’re especially excited to work with Bite-Back and support its intelligent, creative and results-driven campaigns to end the UK trade in shark products and prompt a change in attitudes to the ocean’s most maligned inhabitant.”
Bite-Back is running campaigns to hold the media to account on the way it reports shark news along with a brand new nationwide education programme. Last year the charity was credited for spearheading a UK ban on the import and export of shark fins.
Campaign director at Bite-Back, Graham Buckingham, said: “We’re enormously grateful to Dive Worldwide for choosing to support Bite-Back. The company’s commitment to conservation helps set it apart from other tour operators and we’re certain its clients admire and respect that policy. For us, the affiliation is huge and helps us look to the future with confidence we can deliver against key conservation programmes.”
To launch the fundraising initiative, Phil North presented Graham Buckingham with a cheque for £1,000.
