The reg isn't bad, but not good enough when you needs lots of gas in a big way.
CO2 buildup and general 'I can't get enough gas' feelings made me switch to a
higher performance reg. Others died in caves because of Sherwoods so I'm told
due to the CO2 buildup in current deep. Cold water means Odin to me. George can
beat as many Swedes over the head as he wants, but it doesn't freeze on the
second stage's upstream demand ("till you do as I do where I do it, SMD") and no
one argues with the first stage's performance. It is expensive to own and
operate and getting it adjusted correctly can be difficult. Such is the pain of
the best cold water reg. (in my book). VX10s and ScubaPros are the thing for the
WKPP (warm water with the Odin 1st). You decide, it's you're life.
Someone on the East Coast sells Odins cheap if you want to buy that way.
They're on the list, just broadcast a request.
Anyone else gonna rescue this guy? I use my Sherwood for deco as I'm sure as
___ not going to be demanding from it on a hang. It's good for that and general
cold water recreational use if you won't ever have to fight a current or wind &
waves... Never free flowed either, so don't trash it, just get the right
equipment for the job.

I have a good offer to purchase the above regulator, and I was just
curious about everyone's opinion on this reg. The tech's at the shop
where I dive are fairly happy with it and they are not even Sherwood
dealers. I plan to get more into the more technical end with some of this
years dives planned to about 150+ fsw. Had any problems with freeflows or
service or parts with Sherwood.
Thanks in advance
