is this reg good

[ew1usnr]

I live in Florida and don't know anything about cold water diving. The guy that bought the regulator says that the water he dives in is 40 -45 degrees. Can a regulator freeze at those temperatures? I know that there would be an additional temperature drop because of the expansion of the compressed air. At what temperature does freeze-up begin to be a concern?

The Conshelf has a balanced diaphragm first stage. It can be oxygen cleaned, as well as made environmentaly-sealed with an upgrade, and is a fine regulator. I would be surprised to hear that it is inadequate for the conditions described.

I think that the Scubapro MK-II is non-balanced. Are there any other non-balanced regulators currently being sold?

Sherwood Brut. Not sure about any other Sherwoods.

BTW, ew1usnr, how much did you pay for this reg?

That was Scuba Diver 03 that started this thread. I would think that perhaps up to $100 would be a fair price.

Sorry! Copied the name on the last post, not the thread starter.
