Yoke or DIN for stage bottle?

[Scared Silly]

If using a stage bottle that implies a tech dive. Which means all regs/valves should be the same, preferably DIN. As part of my course work we had to take a reg off a bottle and and put it on another bottle. The idea here is that when Davy Jones comes a calling and for whatever reason you have a good reg and it is not on the preferred bottle you could switch. That is especially important if you can not ascend directly to the surface, either because of a deco obligation or overhead.

From my experience stage bottles take more of a beating than anything else. I wouldn't use anything but a Din. On the chance you are traveling and can't get Din valves just use a yoke adapter.
