I do both.  My Scuba Pro regs work fine for ice diving.  Until this year I
used a Mares Voltrex, which never froze, either.  I have to dress a _lot_
warmer for ice diving.  Because of this, I switch to a 10 (or 12, I never
weighed it) pound stainless backplate instead of an aluminum plate.  I use
72s instead of 95s.  Add three-finger mitts and a 7 mil hood.  Have to use
larger Jet Fins.  Not much different.
