I'm not sure if this is a silly question or not but I'm looking into purchasing my first regulator set after completing my OW class and about 15 dives...so I'm pretty new to the sport. I wanted to know if there are regulators that work in both cold and warm water?
The reason I want to buy a regulator is that I don't want to rent one from shops when I go on vacation because I just don't trust my life ("my regulator") in the hands of someone I may have just met 20 minutes ago. Plus my first dive is off of a large snorkeling boat that sends hundreds of people in and out every day and just does diving on the side...so God knows when the last time they had those regulators checked and maintained.
Anyhow, without all the rambling, I usually dive in the cold waters of the north east (usa) but will probably be traveling at least once a year to a warm place to dive at. Is there a regulator out there that I can safely use in both conditions?
thanks!
