Ahmad Faizal –
I used the Sherwood Magnum EX for my recent dives in Tioman and found the breathing effort to be really low even when I went deeper. The regulator is quite light, and I didn’t feel tired jaws after long dives. Overall, I’m happy with the performance!

Devan Nair –
For the price, I expected a bit more in terms of included accessories, but the regulator itself feels solid and reliable. The Venturi switch is easy to use underwater and makes a noticeable difference during strong currents.
