I’m a big fan of the Poseidon Xstream Black’s environmentally sealed system. It’s a huge advantage when diving in cold water, and I’ve noticed a significant reduction in contamination and freezing issues. However, I do wish the regulator came with more accessories, such as a carrying case or spare O-rings.
