Dive Gear

I dived the Suunto Zoop Novo for a year. No apps, no touchscreen, just the core functions at $299. It handles Nitrox to 50%, full decompression and freediving, which covers everything a beginner recreational diver actually needs.

I tested the Suunto Nautic S as a backup computer across 25 dives on a Red Sea liveaboard and in Turkey. At $550, it packs air integration, a digital compass, and a vivid color display into a price point that makes the competition look overpriced.

For the past 90 days, I’ve used the Garmin Descent MK3i not only as my primary diving computer but also as an everyday smartwatch.

In 2025, the Shearwater team sent me a loaner copy of the Shearwater Peregrine TX for testing. It's an upgrade to the base Shearwater Peregrine with two new features, being a digital compass and an air transmitter.

Shearwater gave me a loaner copy of the Shearwater Teric, where I had the opportunity to use it as a primary diving computer for one year. In this guide, I'll share my favorite things about the computer, as well as some things I didn't like, so you can purchase your next dive computer.

I bought the Lefeet P1 diver propulsion vehicle in 2025 and have been diving it into mid-2026 across South Florida and 7 countries. Here's my honest take on air conservation, travel, camera stability, and the two issues I ran into.
