Hi,

I've had an Instinct 12s for several years and I've never had any problems with it. I get it serviced every year and it's always only been maintenance

Today before a dive, it failed for the first time. It was sitting in snow, and once I turned on my tank, it immediately went into free flow. Once back at the shop and warmed up, it still free flowing a little bit, but only a low hiss.

Is this 1st stage designed for very cold water/snow? I live/dive in Denmark so having a reg that can survive low temps is pretty important.

Thanks :)
