You should be able to get your regs converted to DIN. What kind of reg do you have?

Hi WV
I just bought a Oceanic FDX10.

I'm not aware of an adapter to fit yoke regs to DIN valves. There is an adapter that allows you to use a din reg with a yoke valve.

Most regs can be converted to DIN, but it doesn't allow on the fly switching between the two valves, without an adapter. So, it might be best to convert your reg to DIN and buy an adapter for when you return to diving non DIN.

I am not familar with that reg, did you buy it new or used. Check with an Oceanic dealer and inquire about a din adapter for it.

Also check out this link for recall info on this reg.

There is a din kit for that reg . Any oceanic dealer can get it for you. Cost is around 60 bucks. Takes a medium size crescent and the correct size Allen wrench. You can change it in less than 10 minutes. You will not have the dvt feature though. That in itself is no big deal.

There are very basic "donut" style adapters that screw into a DIN tank valve so you can use a yoke reg with a DIN tank. It only works if the DIN valve is a 5 thread instead of the 7 thread valve used for higher cylinder pressures (above 207 bar).

See XS Scuba Thermo Stand Alone Cylinder Valves for an image of the adapter.
