What I'm trying to say is that Scubapro and Apeks regs seem to regulalry fail in our winter diving conditions, yet the Poseidons never seem to falter.

I understand that kit should be interchangeable, but if a team all dives with poseidons does that help?
Many of us dive all year round regularly with apeks and scubapro regs with no issues whatsoever. With regards to the "team" comment, it doesn't really help, no. The whole point is that you can jump on a boat with another DIR diver, and all your euipment, configuration, processes, signals etc are interchangeable with no issues. You might have a perfectly sound equipment configuration in your team, but if it doesn't confirm to the standard, it's aint DIR. that's not saying it's worse or better, just different from the standard.
