Hi, I hope somebody can help cos my head is now hurting from trying to get this straight.
I am about to buy my first reg (Apex XTX50 maybe?). My quandry is, although most state that they are ready for up to 40% nitrox blend straight out of the box, the EU says that for blends over 21%, regs must be sold with an M26 din fitting.
I am about to do a 6 month DM internship in Egypt, where this fitting is not used (where is it used I wonder . . don't really see it advertised in the uk).
Do I need to get a nitrox reg (with green flashes and M26 fitting) to use nitrox, and if so would I need to get an adaptor to convert it to a 'normal' DIN (if they do such a thing) for use of air and nitrox abroad?
Thanks for your help folks,
