How we calculate scores →About this gear
A compact AMOLED dive computer that adds wireless tank-pressure monitoring and a tilt-compensated compass to the Tern format. It accepts up to four transmitters and supports air, nitrox, three-gas nitrox, gauge and freediving modes.
Consider before buying
Check whether the seller includes a compatible transmitter. For a larger display compare Peregrine TX; for trimix and closed-circuit functionality compare Teric and check its mode requirements.
