"Gas switches" is how many different mixes this computer can be programmed to switch between mid-dive, mostly relevant for technical/staged-decompression diving. It doesn't tell you which gas types (air, nitrox, trimix) are supported. See Gas types and the product description above for that.

Pros
  • Wireless air integration for up to four transmitters, standard on this model
  • Tilt-compensated digital compass, which the base Peregrine lacks
  • Wireless (inductive) charging alongside Bluetooth log sync
Cons
  • Recreational depth ceiling of 120m, shallower than the Perdix/Petrel line
  • No CCR mode
  • Costs $200 more than the base Peregrine for the AI upgrade
Diver community sentiment
Mostly positive

Across Scubaboard threads and independent reviews, divers consistently praise the Peregrine TX's large, bright color display, intuitive menu, strong battery life, and bringing Shearwater's algorithm and air integration to a lower price point than the Perdix AI, Teric, or Tern AI. Several posters describe strong brand loyalty, noting that upgrades from a Peregrine usually go to another Shearwater rather than a competitor. Recurring gripes are about peripherals rather than the core computer: the companion mobile app is considered mediocre for dive logging (some recommend Subsurface instead), and the wireless charging puck is seen as flimsy and easy to lose while traveling.

Summarized from public forum discussion (Scubaboard, Reddit, and similar), not a survey we ran ourselves. See the linked threads for the original conversations.

The Peregrine TX takes the base Peregrine’s approachable single-gas-plus-nitrox layout and adds wireless air integration and a compass, positioning it as a step-up recreational computer rather than a technical one. It’s still capped at 120m and doesn’t touch CCR, so divers who need those go to the Perdix or Petrel 3 instead.
