My husband & I traveled to Malaysia (pre-tsunami) for a business trip and managed to get in a few dives. Unfortunately, we were unable to use our own regulators because the people we were diving with only had din valves on their tanks and no adaptors. (We were guests of the Malaysian Fire Dept. and they brought us out on their rescue boat.)
Since then, my husband bought me a new B-2 for Christmas with a DIN fitting so that we will never run into that problem again and is sending his in to have it switched over. I am surprised that this type of fitting is not more widely used. I loved it because it is more secure and less likely to leak. Also, it doesn't take up as much room behind your head so you are not always bumping it.
Any thoughts anyone?
