Similar to the Petrel 2 the Shearwater Perdix is both Open Circuit and Closed Circuit trimix enabled straight out of the box. It’s 30% extended battery time is complemented by the new slimline case, a stunning 2.2″ full colour HD display with a renown Shearwater simple two button operation, a 3 axis tilt compensated digital compass and an integrated bungee mount. With 5 programmable gases in each OC/CC mode, fixed PO2 and two button BO on closed circuit, colour coded warnings, simple to use adaptive menus, user replaceable battery, the Shearwater Perdix comes with multiple decompression algorithms – Bühlmann ZHL-16C with Gradient Factors – and user adjustable conservatism. Optional VPM-B pin is available both on purchase or afterwards. Looking for the Perdix Air Integrated? Click Perdix AI.

Optional VMP-B Upgrade
The Perdix comes with Bühlmann ZHL-16C algorithm with Gradient Factors installed but you can upgrade it to VPM-B with a special PIN, giving you the option of using the standard GF deco or switching to VPM-B. Once you select this option we will organised to the unlock code for your specific model and serial number. You will then need to update your firmware to the latest firmware before using the PIN code.
VPM or the Varying Permeability Model is a decompression algorithm that attempts to model the behavior of bubbles within the human body during decompression. The algorithm was initially developed by David Yount in laboratory testing and coded into Fortran by Erik Baker.
Shearwater Research has implemented VPM-B according to the original Erik Baker Fortran specification. In addition to implementing the Baker model, Shearwater Research has added a new option. VPM-B dive profiles often have deep stops to control bubble formation with reduced time at shallow depths. The reduced shallow depth time can be quite aggressive with VPM-B so Shearwater Research has included a VPM-B Gradient Factor Surfacing (GFS) option. VPM-B/GFS allows VPM-B dives to be executed while ensuring that a gradient factor of 90% is never violated.
