Went diving in fresh water yesterday with my Mk17AF/S600 in -6°C(21°F) air temp and 2°C(35°F) water temp. Everything functioned perfectly (of course). I just love that regulator, I always leave it in the dive position and still it has yet to freeflow on the surface like so many regulators do when they first hit the water.
Best cold water regulators?

I have a MK 11 Scuba pro diaphram its supposed to be the same AS MK 17 without
the enviro. seal, so the spring is exposed,my LDS said he would not upgrade it to a MK17, so its good to hear that you aggree,because to convert is $$$$$
Any suggestions about how to keep it from freezing when i come out of water till i go in again?
also would you keep a safe second even if you had an air 2 on inflator?

Sherwood Blizzard is very good and is widely used by public safety divers in the US. I myself use a Sherwood Blizzard when Im not diving with a full face mask.
I've also had some experience with the old Cyklon Regulator from Poseidon and I like it for its simplicity. I've never had it freeze on me.
