PS The choice of reg is an interesting one. I guess the Poseidon will give you gas at depth which is more than most(/all?) of the standard regs which come with a BOV. The crappy one which comes with the Divematics got swapped for an XTX50 on mine. Shouldn't have to swap out the reg, so interesting again to see the Sentinel's choice. The AP reg is supposed to outperform everything so again it will be interesting to see what depth rating that is given using trimix.
Sentinel uses xstream 1st stages so its a logical choice to use xstream 2nd stages.
I cant think of a better breathing reg at depth than the xstream.
IMO low WOB should be the
no.1 priority when choosing a BOV. Its physical size should be wayyyyy down on the list of priorities because when you need it, when you really need it, a high WOB could hinder or even prevent recovery.
With the xstream you get both low WOB and small size. I used them for a while on my inspiration.
Be interesting to see it develop
