Subject: Re: DIR talk vs DIR diving
Captain Dale, Greg,

I was under the impression that some free flows or freeze ups occur even more so
in icey water 42F /- due to the amount of moisture in the air or gas fill you
receive....  not only the design of the reg.....
True?

Also, why then do some gas blenders say they won't fill if the dew point is too
high for this reason?  is this nonsense?
