Here's my amateur newbie question of the day:
I'm in the market for my first regulator. I see comments about regs being cold water regs vs not. What I can't find is "What is considered cold water?".
Most of my diving is definitively warm water > 70 degrees. With occasional quarry diving ~ 50 degrees.
Do I need a cold water specified reg, or will just about anything be ok?
At what temp do I need to be concerned with a non-cold water reg free-flowing or not functioning?
