DESCRIPTION
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.

    This is a fantastic regulator that is both bulletproof and simple in design (K.I.S.S.). I have been diving since 1985 and own many different regulators. I’ve owned Dacor Pacers, US Divers Conshelf (another bulletproof design), Scubapro MK10 G250, MK20 D400. This is the regulator I choose in the most difficult conditions. It is the only regulator I trust for are annual new years dive in Lake Michigan and under the ice in quarries. I own two different generations of this regulator and both work very well but the newer design is more comfortable with its low profile design. Sure the Scubapros I own are better performers at depth but I had one freeze up on me and in cold water. The moisture retention fins work very well at keeping your breathing comfortable. “Back in the day” a lot of regulators were made out of brass so moisture retention was not that big a deal. I recommended this regulator on the grounds that it can be used below the Polar Ice Caps and equally as well in the Grand Bahamas. A regulator for all environments!

    I have been diving for 28 years. I recently purchased this product based in part on the representation that it had five LP ports and two HP ports. When I received the actual device, it became clear that there were two "proprietary" PL1 ports which had, according to Sherwood's literature, supposed advantages of providing more air from the tank under certain specifically delineated circumstances. What was wholly unclear was whether one could use these ports as industry standard LP ports. Needless to say, connecting the wrong hose (be it from a BCD inflator hose, a depth gauge/dive computer or an octupus) to the wrong regulator port is a dangerous proposotion to put it mildly. This [...] regulator interjects confusion by shipping with a 12 page user manual that spends most of its time pronouncing the boilerplate puffery about how dangerous diving is, and precious little time about the technical intricacies of the regulator itself. I would steer clear of the device.

      Comments about Sherwood Maximus Regulator,:

      Great breather that matches its reputation. Really like the underarm hose routing so there is no pulling on regulator and absolutely no jaw fatigue. I clip the hose to my bc to minimize profile and can easily find and retrieve the 2nd stage. Very happy with my choice of this regulator.

      Comments about Sherwood Maximus Regulator,:

      Very Nice Regulator. Breathing adjustment has a large range of resistance. The under arm hose design is very comfortable with minimal tugging and less chance of snagging. Only problem I had was the purge button is pretty stiff. I rarely use it and it does not effect the manual purge. I can not say if all of them are like this, but mine is. Breathing feels very nice and the mouthpiece is comfortable. One recommendation I would make is to save up a little extra money and go for the SR-1.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

        Comments about Sherwood Maximus Regulator,:

        After heavy research I selected the Maximus due to one feature. The underarm cabling. It was everything I wanted it to be. Easy to use, easy on the the jaw, and very easy to find. No more arm sweeping to find the reg. It was always by my right leg. Purchased 2 when they came on sale. Looking for more for my kids dive bag.

          I am a Padi Instructor and have over 3500 dives. I have used the Sherwood Maximus for over eight years. Service is easy to have done anywhere along with parts if needed. Just returned from Palau and the maximus was the only reg that allowed you to turn your head from side to side in the current. And low drag with the under arm low pressure hose.
