    Question Bio Filter and cold water diving?

    I'm new to this board as well as new to diving, and am using an Oceanic EOS regulator. Given the cold water temps in Ohio quarries and lakes, should I be concerned about the Bio Filter freezing and stoping my air flow. Temps here regularly drop to 40-45 F. Thank you.

    divingtrucker75: We would not recommend the bio-filter for your type of diving. Our manual states not for use in water temps below 40F.
