Jorge,

I dive Lake Superior, where the water temperature on deeper dives seldom
rises above 37 deg. F.  I started using argon for suit inflation last year,
and the difference is  dramatic.  The air coming out of the inflator always
felt cold, but argon doesn't.  Definitely worthwhile for our environment.
