no. from what i understand, "cold water" regs are just supposed to perform better in cold conditions.

Ok. Going to change the subject for a bit here. How was the dive at Alki, lawgoddess? How was the vis? I haven't been the water lately but I noticed a lot of silt after those early November downpours.

OK - has ANYONE here had a cold-water reg failure, and under what conditions did it occur???
