Din or Yoke what do you use and why

[Belmont]

I use DIN because there is no risk of getting mixed up between yoke and yolk

 

[Tigerman]

I use DIN. Why? Much because of my location in northern europe as DIN is more common than yoke here for some reason.. Might be because DIN is an abbreviation
Its also no more than a minor hassle to use a yoke adapter when I need to plug onto a yoke tank

 

[DiverBeth]

I just switched to DIN and a yoke adapter.

In case anybody ‘knows’ who my LDS is; I had nothing pushed on me. I appreciate the difficulty a responsible shop has judging when stressing make informed decisions becomes information overload.
I think I read you as saying you do go the extra mile and my addendum was unnecessary.

I don't believe any comment is unnecessary
Keep them comming

Yoke user chiming in. It's more readily available in SE Asia than DIN.

 

[Scared Silly]

Our regs go both ways so we have all of the parts for that. However, I do have DIN-to-Yoke adapters which are used on the whip.

Din when I dive my hp steel. Yoke in the caribean.

Din, because it is superior in every respect.
Never an o-ring problem, bullet proof if banged/bumped, more streamlined. And a bit of fallacy that if you travel you may have a problem. Most shops/dive ops have din tanks if you request them ahead of time.

 

[Divin'Papaw]

DIN all around with a DIN-to-yoke adapter for use with the rare tank with a yoke valve. DIN offers a superior connection in every possible way. End of story. All of my tanks are DIN. Four 200 bar DIN/K (2 AL80s, AL30, AL40) and my doubles manifold (X7-100s) is 300 bar DIN. Another reason is that with the adapter, I can dive any tank I'll run into. Simply can't say that with a Yoke reg.

 

[DEEPLOU]

My singles regs are yoke, because a) I bought them right after OW, and bought yoke regs, and b) most of my single tank diving is travel, and most travel places seem to have yoke tanks.

My doubles regs are DIN, because it's harder to dislodge DIN first stages if you hit them on something (like the roof of the cave), and because the o-ring may be a little more secure in a DIN connection. A lot of technical and cave divers use DIN connectors for similar reasons.

Wait a second! That's what I was going to say.
