Cold Water Diving
- HP thread 7/ 1 6" - 20 UNF
- LP thread 3/8" - 24 UNF
Always allow pressure to build up slowly in the
regulator by turning on the cylinder valve slowly.
Use only Christo-Lube
the parts of your regulator with a lubricant containing hydrocar-
bons, household oil, or motor oil.
Cold Water Diving
Before diving in cold water (water temperature below 10 °C/50 °F),
the diver should be trained and have mastered the techniques of
cold water diving, learning techniques and all precautions neces-
sary to avoid freezing of the regulator. All of this is included in the
training programs of organizations offering courses in diving in
cold water or under ice. You should also use equipment intended
for this purpose. This regulator is CE approved for waters colder
than 10°C /50 degrees F.
In order to reduce the risks of regulator freezing when diving in
cold water (below 10°C), consider doing the following:
1. Protect your regulators from any water entering the first or
second stages.
2. Protect your equipment from cold before the dive. Keep your
regulator and all its accessories in a warm dry place.
3. Carry out all pre-dive checks of your equipment in a warm dry
place if necessary, before even going to the dive site.
4. Avoid breathing through the regulator or pressing the purge
button in very cold air before entering the water.
5. Check that the air used to fill your cylinder is dry. The water
vapor contained in this air should have a condensation point
below -54°C. Excess water vapor can freeze, causing a free
flow, or blocking the air flow completely.
