Marcus Lim –
I bought the Sherwood Octopus for my recent trip to Tioman, and I’m happy with how easy it was to use underwater. The yellow hose made it really easy for my buddy to find during a drill. Only thing is, the mouthpiece is slightly large for my preference, but after a while, I got used to it.

Excellent octopus—used it during my advanced open water course and it performed reliably during both drills and actual dives. The purge button was easy to operate even with thick gloves, which was a big plus.
