Choosing among dive computers & instruments starts with a practical question: do you need a computer that matches a particular console or wrist setup, or are named dive modes and display details the priority? These four choices span the Peregrine line, the Teric, and Suunto Cobra, with listed prices covering an absolute $429.50 spread. The right comparison is therefore format, functions, condition, and included components-not a simple highest-price decision.
Quick take
The two Shearwater Research Peregrine entries are the closest comparison. Teric and Cobra are more distinct alternatives: Teric is the 55mm choice, while Cobra is a console-mounted computer with air integration. Start with setup and condition, then use named modes, display details, pressure tracking, and price to settle the choice.

Product notes
Shearwater Research Peregrine Adventures Edition Dive Computer
Shearwater Research Peregrine Adventures Edition Dive Computer is a fit for shoppers drawn to the Adventures Edition name and the described wrist-worn design. Its description also names decompression calculations and dive profiling, giving it a clear purpose for someone wanting those functions. The practical limitation is the specified unit quantity of 1, which frames the purchase as one computer rather than a multi-unit package. It is marked New. Choose it when wrist format, profiling, and the Peregrine identity matter more than adding a different named feature set.
Shearwater Research Peregrine Dive Computer
Shearwater Research Peregrine Dive Computer stands out for its explicitly named mode set: Air, Nitrox, 3 Gas Nitrox, and Gauge. The full-colour 5.59cm LCD screen is another concrete reason to choose it if display detail matters. Its limitation is price position relative to Adventures Edition: it is the higher-priced Peregrine entry, so the shopper has to attach importance to those named modes and screen before choosing it. It is marked New, but the title does not include the Adventures Edition phrase. That keeps the decision focused on the Peregrine name and its specified controls.
Shearwater Teric Dive Computer Black 55mm
Shearwater Teric Dive Computer Black 55mm is the fit when the Teric name, 55mm case size, and listed silicone band are central. The description names a multi-gas decompression computer and includes a charger, case, documents, and carabiner, so the package has a defined component set. The key limitation is condition: it is Used, while the two Peregrines and Cobra are New. Android is the named compatible operating system, which may matter to a shopper with that stated requirement. Choose Teric for those specific title and attribute matches, accepting that its condition differs from the other three choices.
Suunto Cobra Air-Integrated Scuba Dive Computer - NEW in Box - Console
Suunto Cobra Air-Integrated Scuba Dive Computer - NEW in Box - Console is the direct fit for a shopper who wants the air-integrated phrase in the title to correspond to a hose-mounted console. Its description says it tracks tank pressure, depth, time, and no-decompression limits, and it includes Nitrox compatibility plus audible and visual alarms. The limitation is format: it is console-mounted, not the wrist-worn design described for Adventures Edition. It is New and specifies a user-replaceable battery. Choose Cobra when air integration and console placement decide the purchase, rather than when a wrist-worn computer is the goal.
Final recommendation by use case
- Wrist-oriented computer: Shearwater Research Peregrine Adventures Edition Dive Computer.
- Named multi-mode Peregrine: Shearwater Research Peregrine Dive Computer.
- Teric-specific selection: Shearwater Teric Dive Computer Black 55mm.
- Console air integration: Suunto Cobra Air-Integrated Scuba Dive Computer - NEW in Box - Console.
For the closest like-for-like decision, compare the two Peregrines on the functions that matter to you. Choose between the Teric and Cobra only after deciding whether its 55mm format or console air integration fits your equipment setup.
