Wan Li Zhang –
Used the Shadow+ Octopus last weekend in Tioman—very smooth breathing and easy to deploy. The yellow cover made it super visible for my buddy. Lightweight and didn’t drag underwater, which I appreciated.

Is the mouthpiece comfortable for longer dives? I sometimes get jaw fatigue, so that’s important for me.
Imran Hanafiah –
Hi Devan, thank you for your question. The Sherwood Shadow+ Octopus comes with an orthodontic mouthpiece designed specifically to reduce jaw fatigue and offer comfort, even on extended dives.
Indira Maniam –
I’ve used it for about 10 dives now and it’s been really reliable. No issues with free-flow or leaks. The clip attachment is handy but wish it was a bit sturdier.
