Episode notes
When water temperatures plunge below 50 degrees Fahrenheit, your scuba regulator faces a battle against physics itself. In this episode, PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer Marcus Okafor draws from over a decade of testing gear across six continents to explain exactly what separates regulators that survive frigid conditions from those that freeflow at the worst possible moment. Whether you're diving the cold waters of British Columbia, Quebec, or anywhere else that makes your teeth ache, this breakdown covers the specific design features that keep you breathing safely when ice wants to form inside your gear.
