Oh, thats cool, i didnt know that. I'd probably trust a din at higher pressure than i would a yoke though. How high can you get din valves at? Any idea?
I've heard that for *deep* diving din's are more reliable. Any truth to that?
We've always been taught that if you purge air for a moment out through the din valve on the tank before you either fill it or attatch your 1st stage to it, you get rid of any water sitting in the valve. For our purposes it seems to work quite decently, short of that i suppose you could wrap a...

Blacknet says,
"I do have to add that the spectrum/xr2 is a joke! It's a piece of junk that fails miserably with performance, reliability and design. I recently pulled one out of service because of the horrible problems I have had with the unit. When you get down to the bottom line the design...
Greetings once again. I'm going to continue beating the dead horse of "din vs yoke" into the ground. No actually im just refreshing a question mentioned earlier....
Ifukuda, in response to your statement :
" Sport Chalet dive centers seem to carry only Yoke first stages and sell the DIN...
Hey guys :) (and gals)
I am an employee of Sport Chalet and currently work in the Dive Dept. of store #10 in Valencia, Ca. Im not sure who told you that they couldnt get it in Din, but they are a complete moron. Most likely got hired into the dive department and doesnt even dive himself...
