I have the DC1 for sale in the classified section. If the DC2 is anything like the DC1, it should be a great reg. I used my DC1 212 in 52-degree water. Not sure how cold you are talking. Here is the link to mine for sale in case you are interested in saving some money.

Depending on the type of diving you do, get the second stage with or without the swivel, both are available. The swivel in my mind is alright, but depending on the type of diving you do. However, the swivel can not be removed if you descide to put a regular hose (Miflex or longer hose), Oceanic/Hollis uses a proprietary connection. The swivel is well suited for recreational diving, and most of the people that use really like them. Then you have people like me, who are technical divers, and need to remove the standard hose and install a 7' hose.

I have the Hollis DC3/212 as my recreational reg/stage reg, and Scubapro Mk25/A700 as my primary regs for technical regs. My Hollis reg does not have the swivel, so I use a 7' hose on my recreational reg.

The DC2/212 is exactly like the Oceanic EOS, just a different name on it. Both regs are very top performers, and well worth the money.
