We are facing really cold water a lot of the time diving in Scandinavia. And yes, we are using DIR. I think the need to reach ones valves is even more important in cold water applications. If you get a freeze up you need to isolate that reg fast. During all of our courses most of the students are able to do this after a while except those with convoluted gear like transpacs and users of thick neoprene suits. Using DIR there normally should be no problems reaching your valves. I do easily. If I felt any hesitation I wouldn't dive. Regarding the isolator: during basic training you are taught to check that it's not closed. Even if it's closed- it would take a very foolish person (no offence) not to discover that the pressure is not falling. It seems highly unlikely for a technical diver not being aware of that.
