Sorry to disagree, but I know alot of people up north here that are diving
with USD past 200' in very cold waters and they will dive with nothing else.
Also I just reciently talked with some people from the US Navys
Experimental Dive Unit (They do all the test on regulators) and they
prefer USD over any other regulator.
