SHEARWATER LLC
SAGINAW, MI

From its beginnings in 2004 Shearwater Research Inc. has been fueled by the passion and vision of its CEO Bruce Partridge. With a background in computer systems design, embedded programming and advanced technical diving, Bruce brings 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. As an experienced rebreather and open circuit technical diver, Bruce clearly understood the need for divers to be offered reasonable choices, requiring as few button pushes as possible, during stressful underwater situations. Coupled with Bruce’s strong programming skills and demand for robust, reliable products, Shearwater Research has quickly become a major supplier of trimix computers and electronic control systems for rebreathers. Shearwater places great value in the work being done by the scientific community relating to diving and decompression theory. It is common to find Shearwater representatives attending scientific symposiums and conferences around the world. We support evidence based decision making and the organizations that provide that evidence. All Shearwater products are designed and manufactured in Vancouver, Canada, in our certified ISO 9001-2008 compliant facility. Our products meet international standards as required by CE, FCC and IC. Shearwater Story We're often asked about how we got started in the dive computer business. This short video production shares a little background about our founders and our company's vision. Shearwater Research designs and manufactures open-circuit and closed-circuit trimix dive computers for the most demanding technical divers. We provide Buhlmann with Gradient Factors and VPM-B, the most common decompression models used by technical divers. A focus on innovative and simple displays keeps the most important information available at a glance. Shearwater is proud to supply electronic control systems and decompression computers to the world’s leading rebreather manufacturers. Our continuing goal is to advance rebreather technology for the purpose of increasing safety and reliability. To improve the safety and flexibility of rebreather electronics, Shearwater has adapted the internationally accepted digital messaging system known as CAN Bus for use in rebreathers. Known as DiveCAN®, this technology will enable rebreather manufacturers to easily integrate technological advancements as they become available. Shearwater Research Inc. is a proud member of the Rebreather Education and Safety Association (RESA). RESA is a non profit organization that works with rebreather manufacturers and other similar entities to continually improve the education and safety in the rebreather industry.
