I was wondering if anyone has first hand experiemce of this scenario:

Take a reglator with a fixt IP on the first stage, say 3 bar. A normal second stage is fitted to it.

Would it flood if it was taken to say 60m depth? The regulator is not used at depth but it is pressurized.
).

I suddenly realize that I and some others have incorrectly read this part of the question.
In fact you have the same situation when you turn off the valve of your bailout tank after testing it on surface and before going down ( Fixed IP reg or not are here in the same situation)

Im I wrong?
