Questions about this item:
Cindy A Do you happen to have the weight in lbs for the first & second stage with hose? I am in need of replacing my old 20 yr old Maximus which I dearly love & hope this one is a little lighter.
JOHN L Sorry . . . I have since upgraded to an Aqualung. Was never quite happy with this reg at depths.
DAVE G I don't know the actual weight but it is extremely light. You hardly know it is there. Very comfortable. I like it better than my Scuba Pro.
Cindy A Thanks, Dave. I am just hoping to cut down travel weight. I have been sold on what a wonderful regulator this has been for years.
KARL H I have 5 heavy duty hoses on my setup so the weight will be different than the average setup. The specs from Sherwood are:

Shopper Does this regulator work well in cold water (3-4 degrees celsius)?
LeisurePro S This regulator is rated down to 10C (50F). If you are going to be diving waters colder than that, I would look into a diaphragm style first stage with environmental sealing.
Shopper One of the reviewers of this reg said two of the (7) ports are proprietary "PL1" ports, and compatibility with standard hoses might be a problem. Is this the case, or are all ports on the Maximus industry standards?
LeisurePro S There are 5 standard 3/8" lp ports and 2 hp 7/16" ports. All Standard
Shopper Is this regulator Nitrox compatible?
LeisurePro S Yes, up to 40%.
Shopper Is the maximus a "balanced" regulator?
LeisurePro S Yes, the Maximus is balanced.

Whats in the box:1st Stage, 2nd Stage and LP Hose The Maximus is the first choice of diving professionals and now its even better. It can be adjusted to match or exceed the freeze-up resistance of the Blizzard or the moisturizing effectiveness of the Oasis! The ideal choice for advanced, professional, cave and wreck divers, Maximus is an extremely compact and comfortable regulator that's big on performance. Great for all diving environments. Ever notice how tired your jaw muscles are after a day of diving? Sherwood did. And they did something about it in designing the Maximus regulator. First, they tucked the hose under your arm to cut down the sideways push and pull on your second stage. The result? It sits more comfortably in your mouth. Another plus · the underarm hose gives you a more compact, snag-proof profile. So it's ideal for cave and wreck diving, and gentler on the environment.
- FIRST STAGE
- Grooved hand wheel is easily grasped wet or dry.
- The dust cap protects internal parts from contaminants when not in use.
- The two primary-flow ports boost outlet Up pressure to the second stage, giving you more comfortable, easier breathing

- Side adjustable venturi assist gives you easier breathing at high flow rates.
- Right-angle swivel gives you the option to use the second stage in the underarm hose position
- Low-profile exhaust tee.
- Heat retention fins improve cold water performance
- Right angle swivel reduces jaw fatigue.
- Down stream sensing system enhances performance in high demand situations
- Wisdom mouthpiece for reduced jaw fatigue.
