Review: Garmin Inreach mini Or Nautilus Lifeline???

- This video is for SCUBA divers who are having a hard time deciding on purchasing the Garmin Inreach mini or the Nautilus Lifeline Marine Rescue GPS. Both devices are amazing and I highly recommend them, but there are circumstances in which each one excels. Whether you are just an occasional vacation diver or a hardcore mountaineer, this video will help you in your decision. I would never go diving or into the great outdoors without these critical emergency tools.
Thank you so much for making this video! I've been trying to compare the two without experience with the Garmin InReach. This is SO helpful.
As an adventure boater.... I use both this and a few more. Some just in my life raft alone. And a Gumby suit. Your safely gear is going to cost you thousands of dollars and you better have redundancy at least 2x over. I can see the Nautilus as a stand alone for a diver for sure. Awesome review from someone that is obviously very experiences in it's use and as a first responder... gold advice here folks. Thank you for posting:-)
Good review. The black hawk comment @10:00 was quiet funny 😂😂. I’m getting the Nautilus this week.
Great to see a comparison from a diver perspective. I wish one device could do both, of course. An Inreach with a local beacon would be ideal. But at least there are affordable options available.
Yeah it would be awesome if they made a diver friendly version of the inreach that could transmit to ships around you as well. Or have the nautilus also send a satellite signal. I'm guessing something will come out with both.
Great comparison, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
This was very helpful in making my decision, thank you!
excellent comparison
Nice review. Thx.. To the point, no bs..
Well done
cool! nice review.
Thank you!
I totally agree that a radio signal, although great, does not guarantee immediate rescue. One needs to use the right device for the right situation. Recently, a MOB kayaker in Washington State made an emergency 911 call using a cell phone and they did not get to him in time. IMO, had he used a marine channel 16 or VTS Channel 14 followed up by an DSC/AIS MOB distress with MMSI# and GPS Coords, a passenger ferry, or other vessel, within one to three miles would likely have been able to get a rescue raft to him in time.
Yeah that's why I ended up getting both. I wanted the best chance I could get for the circumstances. Working in emergency services has really shown me how far away help can be.
@@crossingtheglobe3122 At least with the wrong device they will have a great chronology of when and how you died.
No guarantee of that but it makes for a reasonable argument. Most likely in the Puget Sound they would send the SPD Marine Division or Coast guard to the GPS location to investigate the received distress call.
@@SeattleRingHunter Whenever I cross the Puget Sound in a kayak, I am always able to get hold of Seattle Traffic on Marine Channel 14. Many of the WSF's are on there , too.
With the original InReach when you're setting up your InReach account you can pre-define messages that will accompany your SOS. I'd check to see if this can also be done with the Mini. You could say something like, "Scuba diving! Send helico or boat!" Note: We had a Nautilus GPS that leaked, no longer trust.
Very informative!
Thanks for response! Hope it helps you decide.
Cool post. Thank you 👍
