Re: feedback on Sentinel

I've just returned from a weekend of diving on mine, it was a mixed weekend with currents "like being in a washing machine". I had the only Sentinel on the boat and when it sat along side inspirations, twin sets, and singles it didnt seem any "deeper" than anything else and i had six inspo divers looking at it very closely.
Dealing with the currents we encounterd didnt pose any more problems than any of the other divers. As for the long hoses i like the as i feel i have more freedom to move my head, just mark them when you get them comfortable.
This is my first rebreather and after the initial hicups which Delta P dealt with very quickly it has been really great, I have made a few mods like a longer wing inflation hose and caps to hold the first stages.
Electronics wise i am gradually getting used to them being able to use a vr3 is a great help.
I can also say that the scrubber doesnt get all that wet as i also left my loop OPEN above my head for approx 10 secs in training and the sorb was basically dry.
