not dived with mine yet and just learning about my kit.

Which ones have you got? I have a set of sherwood oasis that i brought in 2004 when i was out in the middle east, they are meant for warm water use but when i got home and started diving in Scottish waters they were fine. 4 degrees in the forth and no problems what so ever. I did contact sherwood before hand to make sure. I also had a brut set up when i had a pony and again no problems at all. I use the sherwoods when im diving on singles or for holidays and apeks on my twins.

Just phone round your local dive shops and see how much they charge. I used mine all last year and had no problems at all in the water.
