Subject: RE: reg freezes

The main issues are the water temperature, gas flow and the moisture of the 
gas. Lakes get colder than seawater and deep lake diving means a high flow 
of gas. Mix is always drier than compressor air due to the cryogenic source 
of helium and oxygen. This means, if you dive deep in a lake you've got 
another reason to dive mixed gas rather than air. Nitrox, trimix and heliox 
hardly ever cause freeze-ups.
