It's not related to temperature. When lowered a few cm into water with the mouthpiece up, the 2nd stage when properly adjusted would release air. It's not a freezeup since it's stops when flipped over. Go to your diveship, they'll adjust it. You could give it a go yourself, but since you pose the question I figure the safest approach is the diveshop... /Thor -----Original Message----- From: Thom Hadfield [mailto:thom.hadfield@ho*.co*] Sent: Saturday, May 26, 2001 2:18 AM To: techdiver@aquanaut.com Subject: Mares Arkos I have a Mares MR 12 with a Mares Arkos second stage and a sherwood octo. The last 2 dives I cave done I have had very slight free flows. The first time I was in 32 F degree and the free flow was somewhat noticeable and got worse as the dive progressed. I aborted the dive once I noticed it becomming a problem. I have a cold water kit on the first stage however I chalked it up to the extreme temperature. My father used it next on a pool dive for his certification and he didn't notice any problems with it. The next dive was to 40' in 39-41 F dergrees water. near the end of the dive about 15-20 mins into the dive I noticed a positive pressure in my mouth. Not a major free flow but enough that I could feel gas wanting to just push my lips out a little. I switched to my octo wich was breathing good and I noticed that my reg would flow as it should when it was turned upside down and when I turned it right side up it would still be releasing a few tinny bubbles. Any thoughts as to what might be the problem. Would the water temp on the second dive be cold enough to cause a freeze up?
