din or yoke in cozumel

[the sharkman]

My first stage is yoke. Am I going to need an adapter, or are there yoke tanks available? I understand that cozumel dive shops mostly carry Din. (I will most likely by using dive paradise, but may use another).
thanx

I recommend bring the adaptor, you will never be too careful or prepared. I have been able to use din while in Playa del Carmen and when I was in Coz we used the adaptor. We were diving with Dive Paradise at that time.

Hi!

Whilst diving on Coz--too many times to count because it is my favorite diving in North America--I have always used a yoke. In fact, the only DIN I have ever seen have been on the backs of a few Continental chaps: and they brought their own adapters.

So, if I understood your question, just bring your "normal", vanilla, no-bells-or-whistles reg and enjoy some of the best diving it will ever be your priviledge to experience.

And, between dive days, if you want a treat, go to Guido's Restaurant on the main street, far to the north. Absolutely wonderful food!

Nearly all shops on Coz use yoke. DINs will mostly be found only at the very few, elite shops that can provide tanks larger than the standard AL80s, such as Aldora (they supply adapters if needed), Deep Blue (ditto) & Living Underwater.

To the best of my knowledge, Dive Paradise uses yoke as their standard fitting. Can always e-mail to be certain -- info@diveparadise.com

Been going to Coz for over 20 years. Even with all of the, to my mind, despoiling development, it's still wonderful.

Have fun.

Yep, Doc,

Sometimes I think the definition of "wonderful" is a couple of weeks of diving on Cozumel! I found it somewhat depressing when the new pier was put in and 4 or 5 cruise ships would pull up for the day, disgorging the latest version of Coronado's Children. However, when the sun is nearing the western horizon, they all seem to head for their homes afloat and Cozumel is, once again, the realm of those who love to breathe through hoses.

...and thanx for the responses. Glad that yoke will be available.

I dove with Dive Paradise last summer and the tanks all had yoke valves.
