Shearwater Swift GPS Transmitter
Shearwater Swift GPS Transmitter — Precision, Performance & Dive Location Tracking
Take your diving experience to the next level with the Shearwater Swift GPS Transmitter, designed for seamless integration with Shearwater dive computers. Every Shearwater air-integrated dive computer can now do more than track your gas pressure — it can also lock in your dive site’s GPS coordinates for precise entry and exit point recording.
With the Shearwater Swift GPS transmitter, divers can capture their exact dive locations, view maps directly in their Dive Shearwater log, and relive every underwater adventure with pinpoint accuracy. Enjoy real-time gas pressure updates, accurate gas time remaining calculations, and collision avoidance technology for reliable performance — even when multiple transmitters are in use.
The Swift’s advanced features include an LED status indicator, easy no-tools installation, and a user-replaceable CR2 battery for simple maintenance. When synced to the Dive Shearwater app, your dive log displays:
- Entry and exit coordinates
- Dive site location and map view
- A world overview of all your logged dives
Compatible with all Shearwater air-integrated dive computers, the Swift GPS ensures every dive is recorded, optimized, and enhanced — delivering the ultimate combination of accuracy, reliability, and innovation from Shearwater dive computers.
