Can the Perdix 2 Ti Scuba Diving Computer reach a depth of 260m?

You need to verify your specific gas mix and decompression requirements for such a deep dive before you begin your planning.

Perdix 2 Ti housing supports deep technical diving at 260m

The Perdix 2 features an aluminosilicate glass lens and a titanium-colored (Ti) housing designed to withstand significant pressure. We selected the Perdix 2 for this comparison based on its ability to support 5 Open Circuit and 5 Closed Circuit gases, which is essential for deep-sea navigation. For a scuba diving computer, the maximum operating depth is critical because the physical housing must withstand the immense pressure of the water column without failing. This device meets the 260m requirement for deep technical diving, which involves using specialized gas blends like Trimix—a mixture of helium, nitrogen, and oxygen—to manage depth and oxygen toxicity.

For a rapid summary, see our quick verdict on the Perdix 2 to see if it meets your needs.

• Confirm the pressure rating of the housing meets your maximum intended depth of 260m.
• Verify that the 5 Open Circuit and 5 Closed Circuit gas supports include the specific mixtures you plan to use.
• Check if your planned dive profile requires specific Trimix programming that the device supports.
• Ensure the 100-hour battery life with Saft LS14500 batteries meets your longest planned mission duration.

Understanding the Perdix 2 Scuba Diving Computer

The Perdix 2 is a wrist-mounted computer that displays your depth and dive time on a 2.2″ LCD screen. While it offers a 320×240 resolution, buyers who require even higher screen clarity or different physical dimensions might look at other options in the category. If you only need to perform standard recreational dives at shallower depths, you might find other models with lower price points more suitable for your budget.

Consider reading the final verdict for the Perdix 2 to see our ultimate conclusion on its performance.

If you are a technical diver who requires a reliable depth rating of 260m and support for multiple gas types, the Perdix 2 is a suitable choice. For those who primarily perform shallow recreational diving and do not need high-pressure ratings, other options in the category may offer better value.

You should also research which computers stay safe during deep technical dives under 260m to compare different safety ratings.
