, a Vancouver-based manufacturer of technical diving computers and rebreather control systems, has broken new ground in the world of technical diving equipment with the release of a revolutionary device this weekend at . The Shearwater NERD is a that mounts to a diver-s rebreather mouthpiece. It displays information such as depth, time, PPO2 and decompression data right in front of the diver-s eyes for the duration of the dive.

The new device, which displays the same information as the , has been built to withstand some of the harshest underwater diving environments and be easy to use in any real-life dive situation. There is no other product comparable to the NERD currently on the market.

When I use the NERD I feel like I-m a better diver, and that-s something truly incredible we can offer our customers.”
Shearwater will be presenting the NERD at the . Full technical specifications for the NERD can be found on . A tutorial video explaining the different features will also be released on very soon. The NERD is now on sale from a number of
