    Freeze

    Go to the regulator forum and using the Search in this forum function type freeze. This will bring up a lot of posts on regulator freeze, which is what you want to avoid.

    Freeflow or free flow should work too.

    I just asked this question few weeks ago. The consensus was to choose between: Apeks ATX50/100/200, Aqualung Legend/Titan LX Supreme, Mares MR22 Abyss, Poseidon Jetstream and Sherwood Blizzard/Maximus.

    Aqualung Legend

    I dive with the Aqualung Legend LX. I have never noticed any problems diving in the low 50's in Monterey. Great reg, bit pricey though.

    Cold water!!!

    I think the poster from Ontario is talking COLD water...
    Diving here at this time of year the water is low 30's F ....
    We've had the reg freezing discussion many times...
    Sunday on a dive....( 33deg F )...we had no freeflow problems with any of the Blizzards or the new Atomic M1...
    Very big difference in price.....
    Try them both & decide which one is for you ....
    If your not having fun, don't do it

    I use the Sherwood Maximus and have not encountered any problems with it during ice diving. I was ice diving with it a few weeks ago with an air temp of 0 and a water temp of 36. No problems with icing or free flow.
