I'm a Fish!
I just saw the newsletter on the new "Drysuit Inflation System". I don't get it, why would you want to do this when it is not an argon system? For the price I would just get a larger tank and have the advantage of more air and carrying less hip weight. The manual says to use air only, but can this bottle be converted to use argon?
 
Why should there be any conversion? Argon atoms are larger than air atoms so a standard air system should work just fine.

This appears to be a solution, looking for a problem.

Ok, I change part of my observation. The DIN regulator would be kind of cool for just this application. I would have to price a 6 cu cylinder to see if their price is competitive. I would just use the Zeagle pont strap system or make a pouch for the cylinder instead of hanging it on my main cylinder.
