Choosing dive computers & instruments means balancing a simpler watch-style format against a computer with more explicitly named modes, screen details, or decompression functions. The four choices here cover a $399.99 listed-price span, so the useful question is not which costs most; it is which concrete capability matches the way you plan to dive. Here is the short path:
Quick take
In brief, compare the two Peregrine titles first: the Adventures Edition and the standard Peregrine. The Teric is the case-size-specific choice, while the GOA is the watch-style path at the lowest listed price. The decision matrix separates practical use cases before the product notes add the price and condition trade-offs.

Product notes
Shearwater Research Peregrine Adventures Edition Dive Computer
Shearwater Research Peregrine Adventures Edition Dive Computer is a practical match for shoppers who want decompression calculations in a scuba- and-snorkeling-oriented computer. Its Peregrine model and one-unit quantity make the package easy to identify. The limitation is the listed price of $499.99: it is not the low-end choice in this comparison. Pick this edition when its decompression focus and Adventures Edition title fit the intended use. Compared with the standard Peregrine name, the edition wording gives shoppers a simple way to separate the two Shearwater choices.
Shearwater Research Peregrine Dive Computer
Shearwater Research Peregrine Dive Computer is a direct fit for a shopper who wants named diving modes: Air, Nitrox, 3 Gas Nitrox, and Gauge. Those modes cover recreational air use, Nitrox, a three-gas Nitrox setting, and a Gauge mode with depth, time, and a resettable stopwatch. The limitation is its listed price of $580.00, which places it above the Adventures Edition and well above the Cressi GOA. Choose it when the mode list is central to the decision; shoppers focused on a lower listed price may prefer the Cressi GOA.
Shearwater Teric
The Shearwater Teric stands out through its Android compatibility and the named accessory package: M/L band, genuine charger, case, documents, and carabiner. That concrete bundle gives shoppers several selection points beyond the model name. Its limitation is condition: it is listed as used. The $624.99 price is also the highest in this comparison, so choose it when the included charger and case matter more than choosing a lower-priced model. The Teric model name keeps this choice distinct from both Peregrine entries and the GOA watch.
Cressi GOA Dive Computer Watch
The Cressi GOA Dive Computer Watch is designed for scuba diving and snorkeling, with underwater navigation and safety information as part of its use case. That makes it a concrete fit for recreational water-sports shoppers who want those functions named. The limitation is scope: its feature language is narrower than the detailed computer functions named for the Peregrine. Choose the GOA when the lower listed price is the deciding factor and those functions match the plan; choose a Peregrine when a more detailed dive-computer feature brief matters. The GOA model and unit designation keep the product identity concise.
Final recommendation by use case
- Wrist-worn dive profiling: choose Shearwater Research Peregrine Adventures Edition Dive Computer. It is the direct match for that use case.
- Named diving modes: choose Shearwater Research Peregrine Dive Computer. Its Air, Nitrox, 3 Gas Nitrox, and Gauge options are the deciding distinction.
- A 55mm case and silicone band: choose Shearwater Teric Dive Computer Black 55mm. The title and attributes make those selection points explicit, alongside the used condition.
- Watch format at the lowest listed price: choose Cressi GOA Dive Computer Watch. The GOA title and lower price keep the choice focused.
If your decision is between the two Peregrine names, use the Adventures Edition when wrist profiling is the priority and the standard Peregrine when the named modes matter more. The Teric is for shoppers who specifically want its listed case size and band, while the GOA is for shoppers who want a watch-style computer at the lower end. Price alone does not establish which model fits your diving needs.
