The irony is he tried to buy from them first and they weren't interested in selling him the regulator...

With high pressure tanks I can't imagine diving anything other than DIN. It just wouldn't be safe.

Is that a mail order link? No warranty if you do mail order.

It is, but to honest with you, I never found need for a warranty on them. And for the money I save.....You know, same old story.

diveright - you can order an ATX50 off dive inn for ~ $180 - just google it...

Yes, I ordered one of these from them about 2 months ago when they were even cheaper and got it quite fast. However, about a month ago I ordered another and they've been unavailable from the manufacturer since. My information is the new XTX's are way behind in production making the ATX behind as well. The TX's are supposedly no longer available.

Does anyone know who has these in stock at a good price???

Thanks,
Dave

I know I could get a lecture but I'm just not convinced DIN is that much better. It's a big decision because.

Here's another reason for the DIN. In a cave, if you bump a reg like you did on the dive boat, do you want to risk popping an o-ring? DIN captures that O-ring.

Another reason, most manifolds today are DIN. Some 200 bar have yoke adapters but not the 300 bar.

What does capturing on O-rign mean? If your O-ring splits in a DIN or K-valuve, isn't that the end of your gas supply from that cylinder no matter what. Has anyone ever experienced "capture of an O-ring" and how did DIN help?
