Description

Shearwater Swift Transmitter

The Shearwater Swift Transmitter is the next generation smart transmitter allows divers to read gas management data directly from your air integrated dive computer. The Swift has collision avoidance protocol which allows for multiple transmitters to be used at the same time, with a lower likelihood of dropped communications. The Swift is designed and built in Canada for demanding divers of all proficiency levels.

Smart Air Integration Technology

Advanced collision avoidance system ensures reliability using multiple transmitters.
Randomized transmit interval allows for reliable simultaneous use of multiple Swift transmitters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Swift O2 compatible?

Swift transmitters are built with O2 compatible materials; however, the Swift is not shipped “O2 clean”.

What is the Swift’s battery life?

The Swift’s battery life is approximately 300 dive hours or 5 years when in storage. It is important to ensure that the regulator the Swift is mounted on is purged when not in use. The Swift will continue to transmit gas pressure if it is pressurized above 3.5 bar (50 psi).

How is the Swift different from legacy Shearwater transmitters?

The Swift has many improvements over legacy Shearwater transmitters:

The active interference avoidance system allows multiple transmitters to work side-by-side without signal interference. The maximum recommended number of legacy transmitters was two (one grey, one yellow).
The indicator LED provides quick diagnostic information.
The Swift is smaller than legacy Shearwater transmitters.
The Swift has a robust metal base that allows for hand installation without the need for special tools or wrenches.
The Swift’s double O-ring design reduces the chance of a flood after a battery change.
The Swift is unlikely to be mistaken for a tank valve knob.
The Swift was designed and built in British Columbia, Canada.

Will the Swift work with existing Shearwater computers?

The Swift works with all pre-existing Shearwater AI computers, and likely to work with computers from other brands that use MH8A marked transmitters. However, operation with dive computers from other brands cannot be guaranteed.

Can I use the Swift to track students/buddies remaining gas pressure?

While the Swift can be used this way, it was not designed for tracking your buddies’ gas pressure. The range is 1m (3ft), so unless you are diving quite close together, you should expect to lose comms regularly.
