cold diving

[rescuediver009]

All the regs mentioned will be great for coldwater, but California is definetely not cold water. If you are worried about cold water, you should be thinking about temperatures in the low 40s or lower. Otherwise any reg will do.

Anything with a sealed first stage.

I swear by my Mares Proton Ice and Ice Octo. If you are going to get a reg that is the one to get.

Scubapro MK16/S550 rocks..

Go for the Apeks ATX50, an outstanding cold water reg and not that expensive. Don't go for any of the more expensive models as there isn't much difference.

hi am going next week to peru in south america and plan to do a lot of diving there, i have been told that the water is cold pretty much like california if not colder, does anubody knows any regs for cold diving, the only one i heard is the mares proton ice thank for the help

california isn't really cold. you should be fine with any major manufacturer. sealed first is a must.i like oceanic.they meet the criteria for a reliable manufacturer of life support systems(not too many people croaked breathing through them) and they're made in the U.S.A.can't beat that with a stick.i'm sure Mares,Zeagle, Sherwood or Atomic et. al. will do just fine.
