"HP / LP ports" is the number of high-pressure and low-pressure ports on the first stage, which caps how many accessories (transmitter, SPG, inflator, second second-stage) you can run at once.

Pros
  • Same 9000 Series A2-DC balanced-piston first stage used across Sherwood's Pro lineup, with a tee-shaped body meant to keep the profile low against the tank valve
  • Venturi flow-control switch lets you dial breathing resistance for surface swims versus depth, a feature not clearly documented on the cheaper Brut Pro
  • 2025 refresh brought a newly designed pneumatically balanced second stage and updated look, plus Sherwood's Free Parts For Life coverage
Cons
  • Sold across multiple connector variants (Yoke, DIN Yoke, DIN) in Sherwood's lineup, so confirm you're getting this yoke SRB9350 rather than the DIN SRB9375 if it matters
  • No documented cold-water or ice-diving rating the way the Blizzard Pro has, so treat this as a temperate/warm-water reg unless Sherwood states otherwise
  • No octopus included at this price, it ships as a first-and-second-stage regulator only
Diver community sentiment
Mostly positive

Real-world Scubaboard commentary is heaviest on the classic Sherwood Magnum, the Magnum Pro's direct ancestor, rather than the modern balanced Magnum Pro specifically, since fewer divers have logged hours on the newer version. Longtime Magnum owners consistently praise its bulletproof durability, decades of trouble-free use, and cheap/easy servicing. The most commonly cited weakness of the older unbalanced-first-stage Magnum is that breathing gets noticeably harder below roughly 1000 psi, a limitation the balanced Magnum Pro is specifically designed to fix. Overall sentiment across threads: rugged and dependable, though dedicated long-term Magnum Pro field reports are still relatively sparse online.

Summarized from public forum discussion (Scubaboard, Reddit, and similar), not a survey we ran ourselves. See the linked threads for the original conversations.

The Magnum Pro sits in the middle of Sherwood’s regulator range, between the entry-level Brut Pro and the cold-water-rated Blizzard Pro, using the same 9000 Series A2-DC balanced-piston first stage and adding a diver-controllable venturi switch on the second stage. It got a 2025 refresh with a new second-stage design and finish, but like the SR2 it’s positioned as a mainstream recreational reg rather than a specialty pick.
