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:-)
I find the Garmin InReach mini 2 runs out of battery quickly if it’s on and not able to find a signal with a satellite (such as inside a steel ship) just as an FYI. While outside under open skies it will last a long time.
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.
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.
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.

Appreciate the succinct and accurate info, as a lifelong mountain adventurer, the ocean is different 🤙
Thorough and very helpful presentation 👍🏼

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.

Good review. The black hawk comment @10:00 was quiet funny 😂😂. I’m getting the Nautilus this week.
This was very helpful in making my decision, thank you!

@@crossingtheglobe3122 At least with the wrong device they will have a great chronology of when and how you died.
