    Default FS: Shearwater Petrel with VPM upgrade GREAT SHAPE

    My birthday was great this year.
    Not only did I get a new Go Pro, but the wife gave me the go ahead to upgrade to a Perdix.

    I have had this computer for about a year.
    I believe it has around 200-250 dives total, I will have to verify that when I get home.
    IT HAS THE $60 VPM UPGRADE INSTALLED
    Had Shearwater upgrade it to the gold plated battery plate and spring as soon as I got it.
    It has functioned perfectly!

    Has Firmware v34 on it, I can download v37 just released if you want me to or you can do it.
    Has the original straps that were trimmed a little, but I am a big guy and dive in a Neoprene Drysuit so it should still fit almost anyone.

    I am in the mountains and will be home late today 7-16 and can provide any pictures that are desired.
    It has a couple small marks on the original protective film on the screen protector.
    No gouges or heavy damage.
    Perfect display when on.
    This Petrel looks pretty darn good for a cave divers computer.
    Also includes 2 spare unused battery o-ring from Shearwater.

    $550 with VPM upgrade shipped to the USA.

    A lot of other people use this but I feel that it is very appropriate!

    Got a PM with a question:
    My apologies I thought just saying Petrel would designate it as
    Petrel-1.

    Thanks for the question.

    No I bought it used a year ago.
    That is why i sent it to Shearwater to have the gold plated spring and contact put in the battery compartment.
    There was an issue with some Petrel-1s that did not have this. So I asked them to upgrade it
    It has worked perfectly.

    If my memory serves me correctly the petrol 1 does not have the compass feature and the Petrel 2 does? Any other differences?

    Other than that they are identical.
    Same firmware updates are available.

    That's a really good price for a Petrel 1.
