One less hose.

Great idea hard to keep in mouth because of stiff hose while using both hands doing other tasks. It is new to me and I'm sure it will become more flexible in time.

I've had the unfortunate experience of going through three, yes three of these octos in the span of one year. Each has had free flow issues from get go within the first half a dozen dives with the latest occurring within just 3 pool sessions! Leisure Pro has been very good about helping me with the problems and I'm very happy with my other Sherwood Maximus primary 2nd stage regulator, however here the problem is pure and simple - a poorly designed Sherwood product. Do yourself a favor, stay away from this product. Third time was no charm either!

DO NOT BUY! FREE FLOW ISSUES!

      Comments about Genesis Sherwood Gemini Breathable Inflator:

      I'm writing this review because my local scuba shop sold me the Gemini and it sucked. I came back to leisure pro, they sold me the oceanic, and it was much more reliable. I don't often write reviews but wanted to warn buyers of this poorly made Sherwood Gemini, which, out of the box, had free flow issues. Swapped out 3 Geminis, and all three ended up with free flow issues. WASTE OF MONEY.

      • Eliminating Hoses

      Comments about Genesis Sherwood Gemini Breathable Inflator:

      I am a big fan of Sherwood regulators so I bought this octo to eliminate the extra hose. After the third dive it free flowed. Had it serviced and dove eight more dives then it free flowed. When I got home I when online to see if Sherwood had any fix for the problem. No fix but a diagram of the regulator. I took the reg apart and found it was not assembled correctly. the adjustment screw separated from the part the connected to the seat. Final test no leak but I still need longer 10 dive test on my trip next month.

      Really bad free flow problem. Had to have it serviced 3 times this year. Was in the pool with an Open Water class when it broke. Only had it for 2 years with only about 15 dives.

      Purchase at own Risk

      By Bryan

      About Me Professional

      Pros

      • Easy To Connect

      Cons

      • Free Flow Issues
      • Unreliable

      Best Uses

        Comments about Genesis Sherwood Gemini Breathable Inflator:

        This product is awful. I have had mine for 2 years and it has been nothing but problems since day one. It has been sent back to the shop to be adjusted 8 times, and sent back to Sherwood 3 times. Every time it comes back, it works fine for one dive, and then it is back to a constant free flow. It needs to be adjusted before almost every dive, and it has failed on me twice during dives at depths over 100ft.

        I would not recommend this product to anyone who values their life.

        Comments about Genesis Sherwood Gemini Breathable Inflator:

        This product lasted less than 20 dives before encountering the same issues as the other posters - continuous free flow. And even worse, it was making it impossible to fully fill my BC - this occurred mid-surface swim, which as you can imagine made life miserable. I'm switching to the Zeagle.
