Hi, i got My drysuit now. And Are ready for testning it out side the pool, now My question is My scubapro c300 and c200. Will they be fine in water at 2-3 celsius? I Cant find info anywere
 
The C300s are attached to the Mk2s for rental which we use during the summer for teaching. We do go below the thermocline (low 40s F) and the C300 has worked well with no issues. I don't use the Mk2 for winter or spring diving since the water is quite cold (30s F). I think the reg would hold up well in the 30s with a good first stage, but I haven't tried it. Personally, If I was serious about using the C series for cold I would go with the C370. Nonetheless, I do like the C series reg for simple stuff. For everything else I use the G260.
 
It is a downstream design, with a specially designed poppet that has the airflow before the spring, and a large exhalation valve. The lever pivots in a fashion not as likely to bind up with ice as two-legged designs. With proper cold water breathing technique, it is not as likely to freeze up as more complex designs.
 
Can't say much on the second stage as I use 109/156/g250 variants only if using single hose in cold water.

Now, as to a first stage:

MK-2........

I'd take in in a heartbeat over a MK-25....
