Choosing dive computers & instruments starts with a setup decision: do you want an air-integrated computer with its transmitter, a Teric computer and named accessories, a console that puts tank pressure front and center, or a transmitter to add to compatible equipment? These four choices cover those paths, from the $200 Suunto Cobra to the $899.99 Shearwater Teric bundle. The useful comparison is which package matches the hardware already in your dive kit.
Quick take
- Shearwater Teric Dive Computer w/ Air Integration Transmitter, Charger: The all-in-one Teric package, with a color AMOLED display, broad dive modes, compass, and included transmitter.
- Shearwater Teric Dive Computer Black 55mm: A Teric computer package with a 55mm case, silicone band, charger, and case.
- Suunto Cobra Dive Computer: An air-integrated console with tank-pressure monitoring, Nitrox support, an extra battery, and a $200 price.
- Shearwater Research SWIFT AI Transmitter: An add-on for compatible air-integrated computers, especially when simultaneous transmitters are useful.

Product notes
Shearwater Teric Dive Computer w/ Air Integration Transmitter, Charger
The Shearwater Teric Dive Computer w/ Air Integration Transmitter, Charger combines a full-color AMOLED display, sapphire crystal, wireless air integration, digital compass, Bluetooth, wireless rechargeable battery, audible and vibration alerts, and Air, Nitrox, Trimix, Tech, CCR, and Freediving modes. The 200 m / 660 ft depth rating is explicit, and the package includes the transmitter, wireless charging station, charger, and case. Choose it when one Teric purchase needs to cover computer and air-integration hardware. Its concrete tradeoffs are the $899.99 price and Used condition.
Shearwater Teric Dive Computer Black 55mm
Shearwater Teric Dive Computer Black 55mm focuses on the Teric computer in a 55mm case with a silicone band. It includes a genuine charger, case, documents with carabiner, and multi-gas decompression capability; Android compatibility is also specified. That combination suits a shopper who wants the named Teric accessories and a clearly identified 55mm format. The limitation is Used condition, and the attributes specify no manufacturer warranty. Its $624.99 price also places it above the Suunto Cobra's $200 price, so the choice centers on the Teric format rather than the lowest-cost console setup.
Suunto Cobra Dive Computer Air Integrated Console RGBM Nitrox with Extra Battery
Suunto Cobra Dive Computer Air Integrated Console RGBM Nitrox with Extra Battery puts air integration and tank-pressure monitoring at the center. It combines RGBM decompression, Nitrox support, Air/Nitrox/Gauge modes, a bright electroluminescent backlight, audible alarms, altitude adjustment up to 10,000 ft, a 36-hour logbook, and an extra battery. The $200 price and New condition fit someone seeking a console with those defined functions. The stated depth rating is 492 ft / 150 m, with operational display up to 262 ft / 80 m; those limits should shape the dive profile you plan to use.
Shearwater Research SWIFT AI Transmitter
Shearwater Research SWIFT AI Transmitter is the accessory choice for expanding air integration. Smart AI technology uses collision avoidance and randomized transmit intervals for simultaneous SWIFT transmitters, with up to 300 dive hours. It connects to Teric, Perdix AI, and Nerd 2 computers and is compatible with all air-integrated Shearwater computers plus many other computers on the market. Choose it when the computer is already compatible or when multiple transmitters matter. Its limitation is scope: the title identifies a transmitter rather than a complete dive computer, and the $400 price is separate from the computer hardware it connects to. New condition is specified.
Final recommendation by use case
- For a complete Teric air-integration package: Choose the Shearwater Teric bundle at $899.99 when the included transmitter, charger, color AMOLED display, and broad mode selection fit your plan.
- For the specified 55mm Teric setup: Choose Shearwater Teric Dive Computer Black 55mm when its 55mm case, silicone band, charger, and case are the priorities.
- For the lowest-priced console route: Choose Suunto Cobra at $200 for its air-integrated console format, tank-pressure monitoring, Nitrox support, and extra battery.
- For an add-on transmitter: Choose Shearwater Research SWIFT AI Transmitter at $400 when compatibility with a Teric or another supported air-integrated computer is the deciding factor.
