Choosing among dive computers & instruments means deciding how much of your air information should be integrated, how much display and mode capability you need, and whether a console format suits your setup. A lower listed price can point to a different feature mix rather than the same computer at a different cost. Here, the practical split is between two Teric configurations and two console-focused choices.
Quick take
- The Shearwater Teric entries differ mainly in their bundle contents and named configuration details.
- The Suunto Cobra and Aqua Lung I330R-2 use console-oriented formats with different feature sets.
- Air integration, display type, dive modes, included accessories, and condition matter more than price alone.
Listed-price comparison
| Product | Listed price | Price bar |
|---|---|---|
| Shearwater Teric Dive Computer w/ Air Integration Transmitter, Charger | USD 899.99 | |
| Shearwater Teric Dive Computer Black 55mm | USD 624.99 | |

Decision matrix
- Air integration: The Teric transmitter bundle explicitly includes a transmitter. The Cobra names an air-integrated console with real-time tank-pressure monitoring. These are the clearest matches for shoppers prioritizing integrated air information.
- Display and connectivity: The transmitter bundle specifies a full-color AMOLED display, sapphire crystal, Bluetooth, and audible and vibration alerts. Cobra uses an electroluminescent backlight, while the I330R-2 describes an ultra-bright color display readable in sunlight and Bluetooth connection.
- Modes: The transmitter bundle names Air, Nitrox, Trimix, Tech, CCR, and Freediving modes. Cobra names Air, Nitrox, and Gauge modes. The I330R-2 is described with four modes and three Nitrox mixes, while the other Teric description identifies multi-gas decompression.
- Format and accessories: Cobra is identified as an air-integrated console, and the I330R-2 title includes quick disconnect. The Teric bundle includes a transmitter and charging station; the Black 55mm package names a charger, case, documents, and an M/L band.
- Price spread: The difference between the lowest and highest listed prices is $699.99, making feature priorities especially important when comparing the console choices with the Teric bundle.
Product notes
Shearwater Teric Dive Computer w/ Air Integration Transmitter, Charger
This is a strong match for a diver who prioritizes a full-color AMOLED display, sapphire crystal, digital compass, Bluetooth, wireless rechargeable battery, and audible and vibration alerts. Those details give the computer a broad set of navigation, connectivity, and notification functions, while the included charging station adds a defined part of the package. The main limitation is its Used condition and highest price position in this comparison. Its 200 m / 660 ft depth rating is a raw specification to match to planned diving, not a reason by itself to choose it.
Shearwater Teric Dive Computer Black 55mm
Choose this Teric when the named 55mm case size, silicone band, Android compatibility, and multi-gas decompression description fit your priorities. The package also names a genuine charger, case, documents, and an M/L band, giving it a clearly described accessory mix. The limitation is its Used condition. Air integration is not the feature highlighted for this configuration, so shoppers specifically seeking transmitter hardware have a more direct match in the other Teric bundle. The 55mm size and Android compatibility are concrete identifiers, but neither establishes a performance advantage on its own.
Suunto Cobra Dive Computer Air Integrated Console RGBM Nitrox with Extra Battery
The Cobra brings together an air-integrated console, real-time tank-pressure monitoring, RGBM decompression, Nitrox support, an extra battery, audible alarms, and altitude adjustment up to 10,000 ft. Its electroluminescent backlight and 150 m depth rating add clear specifications for console shoppers to weigh. The limitation is the named mode set: a diver targeting Trimix, Tech, CCR, or Freediving has a more direct match in the Teric transmitter bundle, where those modes are explicitly identified. Cobra is listed as New, but its display type differs from the Teric bundle's full-color AMOLED.
AQUALUNG I330R-2 Dive Computer with Quick Disconnect
The I330R-2 suits shoppers drawn to a quick-disconnect console with an ultra-bright color display, rechargeable battery, Bluetooth, and readability in sunlight. Its description also names compass compatibility, four modes, and three Nitrox mixes, giving the computer a specific feature profile for recreational and mixed-use comparisons. The limitation is the stated condition, New other (see details). Its described operating scope is more specific than the Teric transmitter bundle's named Trimix, Tech, CCR, and Freediving modes, so those broader mode requirements point elsewhere. The quick-disconnect wording remains the clearest format cue in its title.
Final recommendation by use case
- For a transmitter bundle: Choose the Shearwater Teric with Air Integration Transmitter and Charger because those accessories are explicitly included.
- For the named Teric configuration: Choose the Shearwater Teric Black 55mm if its case size, silicone band, Android compatibility, and multi-gas decompression description are the deciding details.
- For the lowest listed price with integrated air features: Choose the Suunto Cobra, which names tank-pressure monitoring, RGBM, Nitrox, and an extra battery.
- For quick disconnect and a sunlight-readable color display: Choose the Aqua Lung I330R-2, with its rechargeable battery, Bluetooth, and compass compatibility.
Use the $699.99 price spread as the final filter: decide whether the Teric bundle's transmitter and broader named mode set fit your diving better than the Cobra's air-integrated console or the I330R-2's quick-disconnect format.
