I recently made a dive to 330' and just past 300' my argon inflation =
came very slowly. Once back above 300' flow seemed to return to normal. =
I used a Sherwood Brut and this was the deepest I've ever used that =
regulator. Tank pressure at that point would have been well above =
1000psi. The IP is set at 125psi. I'm not exactly sure what went wrong =
or how to fix it.=20

Is this reg a bad choice for an argon reg? What is the best reg to use =
for this purpose?

Thanks,
Rich
