The problem with SP regs is that they are freeflowing out of the box, period. If this is how SP ship regs where the they are going to be used in cold water, they SHOULDN'T leave the warehouse in the first place without all the twiking done to the reg prier to shipping. Up here you can't buy a new car off the lot without a block heater. You shouldn't be able to buy a reg that isn't cold water ready out of the box. I have seen an Odin's perform at 500'+ @ 38*F water temp with no problem. I own one. I have used my OLD conshelf in the winter @ -15*C surface temp. with water temp. @ 31*f (yes that is what my computer registered), breathed the reg at the surface and used the same reg for an 8 hour shift fixing a tug, no problem. I own one. The story of making a sows ear into silk purse is a good comparison to make when trying to use a SP regs. in cold water. I'M NOT saying they aren't good regs. What I am saying is that they are not the best choice of reg for cold water. Randy Sullivan Sault Ste.
