Polar diving gear configuration for Antarctica and Arctic scuba diving

Using a H Valve thats DIN on a single steel tank you want your regulators set up as below and remember first and second stages that are made for cold water and ice diving is the best choice to avoid freeflows. I personally use Apeks MTX-R's and they should be DIN First stages.

Right Post should have primary second stage on standard size hose, low pressure inflator hose for your BC.

Left Post should have your backup second stage or octo andIi prefer to wear mine on a necklace. Hose size can vary but i use 22-24in hose. You will also want a low pressure hose for drysuit. and your pressure gage or transmitter on this side.

I also highly recommend trying this out before heading to the Arctic or Antarctica ahead of time to ensure it's all working properly and you're comfortable in the gear. I usually use a 5ft hose on my primary regulator but because we are diving from ribs/zodiacs they get entangled and it's not needed for diving to 60ft in open water in this environment. Its better to have a standard size hose that doesn't get caught on the rib or crushed when pull aboard and there is a lot of gear.

I hope this helps! If you'd like to join an Antarctica diving or snorkeling trip email me at [email protected]
