Has anyone any thoughts on how the sentinel compares to others?
the sentinel is no faster or slower than an inspiration or a meg, but it may may seem slower as with the full 18 hour checks it counts you down on the pre breathe and neg test making it impossible to cut them short and also lists all the things you sould check, so its hard to forget or skip certain steps, the emphasis on the Sentinel isn't to perform a fast check, the emphasis is on a QUALITY check the unit tries to ensure you do the correct check taking into account the amount of time since your last dive or cal. therefore it shortens the checks if allowable.
for me a quality check is what matters
i have seen the revo close up and am very impressed with its "user friendliness" and will more than likely go down that route in the future, but lets not forget changing a prepacked scrubber in 38 seconds isnt a comprehensive predive check, and thinking about it, in a prepacked scrubber changing situation then my money would be on the meg... 4 clips, pull scrubber drop in new close the 4 clips done! i reckon it would be faster. but like i said i wouldnt be trying to sell a unit on its "speed".
