ABOUT SHEARWATER

DIVE COMPUTERS FOR DEDICATED DIVERS

From our beginnings in 2004 Shearwater Research Inc. has been fueled by the passion and vision of its Founder Bruce Partridge. With a background in computer systems design, embedded programming and advanced technical diving, Bruce brought a unique perspective to the world of dive computers. Armed with the belief that divers want a simple intuitive user interface previously unavailable in dive computers and rebreather control systems, the earliest focus was on the design of a menu structure that made sense to the user.
