Great Lakes deco reg?
Does a simple, reliable, unsealed, unbalanced piston reg like the AL Calypso or Scubapro MK2+/R190 combo work reasonably in the 70' to 20' range given the low temps?

I realize it isn't going to breathe like an AL Legend or Apeks XTX, but I'm concerned about cold icing given the temps.

I've read that these are safer than full balanced diaphragm regs for high O2 percentages because less o-rings are exposed to the high pressure. And because in a failure, you can swap them between tanks underwater. And less parts is easier to fully O2 clean them.

Thoughts? What do you use in those waters?
