Halcyon 55# bladder on ebay.. http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1111857232&r=0&t=0&sh owTutorial=0&ed=982557467&indexURL=0&rd=1 Paul Komrowski -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Schultz [mailto:matt.schultz@td*.ne*] Sent: Saturday, February 17, 2001 7:59 PM To: Chriss_Ludin@pc*.gc*.ca*; techdiver@aq*.co*; wreckdiver@aquanaut.com Subject: RE: cold water regulators I too am interested in this question as well what tech diver recommends as a second stage for ice diving. A few of us tried an ice dive this afternoon and everyone experienced some sort of equipment failure. Many brands were present: Oceanic, Poseidon, Scuba Pro to name a few. All of them free-flowed like there was no tomorrow. It could be that the air temperature had something to do with it (2 degrees fahrenheit, and -20 with windchill), but my guess is that there has to be something that will work in the cold climates and under these air temperatures. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. -Matt Schultz -----Original Message----- From: Chriss_Ludin@pc*.gc*.ca* [mailto:Chriss_Ludin@pc*.gc*.ca*] Sent: Friday, February 16, 2001 10:02 AM To: techdiver@aq*.co*; wreckdiver@aquanaut.com Subject: cold water regulators Our section is in the process of selecting new regulators for use by our archaeologists. These guys will be periodically exposed to -2 degree centigrade water, arctic variety ambient air temp. and depths to 40 m. in isolated areas. The reg will be used in a Cressi full-face mask. We're looking for a reg with a dry seal first stage, freeze-up resistant second stage, high air output at depth, good parts availability and a decent reputation. Any preferred manufacturers or dealers? These regs may only get 200 or so hours per season but they will get beat up. We'd be interested in hearing some recommendations particularly from those regularly diving any part of the Arctic, Great Lakes, under the ice and, of course, from those with years of experience.
