Comments about Sherwood Sherwood Minimus Octopus, Yellow:
Good backup reg as long as you plan to upgrade sometime in the near-future.
I'm looking to detach this from my basic air-delivery system and attach it to a pony bottle instead.
Reg becomes difficult to breath with when air runs low or if you go past 50 ft., but ultimately a good temporary reg.

Comments about Sherwood Sherwood Minimus Octopus, Yellow:
Haven't tried it in extreme depths,
very resistant to freeflow due to horizontal build, only thing that could be improved is that becuase there is no bubble skirt, bubbles end up going in front of your face, no too big of a deal.
