DIN for the win. It's more secure. It's capable of handling higher pressures. It's smaller. It's lighter. You maintain the o-ring yourself. It will fit any cylinder valve (with an adapter) (except M26). There are no downsides to using a DIN regulator.

Don't get me wrong I am a fan of DIN. But I believe the best travel system is a yoke reg along with a spare "doughnut" insert for DIN tanks. If you travel with a DIN reg, yea it weighs less, but if you need the A-adapter just in case you run across some yoke tanks your weight savings just went overboard. Plus it sticks out way worse than a natural yoke reg. If you have a Yoke reg, all you need to make any din tank yoke compatible is the little doughnut insert that you showed in the video. Moreover the little doughnuts are like $10 a pop (I always keep a couple in my SAD kit as they contain 2 orings each). The A-converter is like $50-100. Anyway. Love the videos keep up the great work. Cheers!

DIN regulator. Just the most common type you find around here in Denmark. Very easy to use, if your flask already has a DIN threading. I like the more compact style as well. Edit: I will add that in cave diving DIN does not stick out towards the ceiling, minimizing risk of knocking it against the top of the cave, if you miss judge the height.

@bloodymarvelous4790
Жыл бұрын
Anytime you add an adapter you add a failure point. If you're using a Yoke valve adapter you have an insert with an o-ring on the inside, and an o-ring on the outside. The chances of the o-ring on the inside failing are next to nothing. If you come across a worn o-ring on a ring adapter, screw it out, and turn it around. (Or better yet, ask for another adapter ring). When you add a Yoke adapter to a DIN regulator, you have the o-ring on the valve, and the o-ring on the regulator. The chances of the o-ring failing on the regulator are next to nothing. Another disadvantage of the Yoke adapter is that it makes the regulator stick out quite far from the cylinder valve. So you're basically compounding the disadvantages of a Yoke valve connector. Now it's sticking out in the back AND the front. Fortunately, there aren't that many dive operators who still use Yoke valves. Most use DIN valves with a Yoke adapter ring. So you'll rarely need to use the Yoke adapter.

My first regulator was was a yoke. I had it converted to DIN at it's first service. There wasn't any need to buy a new set of regs and the price of the conversion kit was much less than a new set anyway. I still use it today when I'm teaching open water courses. All my many other regs were bought as DIN and I just take an adapter with me when I take them overseas. Here at home in Australia and most places I dive overseas in the last four years have convertible tank valves anyway. I take the adapter as insurance because some of those tank valves haven't had the inserts removed in a very long time and can be corroded in place.

So long story longer I don't know the joy of diving with a din tank/reg or having a larger fill (3500 PSI max)I couldn't even sell the tank here in Guam despite it being in great shape! Ultimately since I have 9 other yoke style tanks it's not the end of the world. I'm sure at some point I'll acquire a Din reg......

If I was buying again I would buy DIN. Most dive shops prefer DIN. You can also accommodate higher pressure (ie more air) in tanks so good if you're a heavy breather. O-Rings also tend to fail more in yokes as there is more pressure put on the O-Ring when the pressure is released for the first time (like out on a dive boat or just as you're testing the tank pressure before you get on board...You can always buy a few adapters. From what I hear- ice diving almost always mandates DIN for safer diving (and you suck more air in cold environments)

I use and prefer DIN but there is one advantage I see for yoke and it is the durability of the valve (without reg attached). Drop a tank off bench onto deck valve first. It does not take that much of a hit for the din valve to get deformed and no longer able to recieve the reg. This is one reason I think the high volume boats for rec divers might favour the yoke tanks.

The difference of working pressure between DIN and Yoke is not because of location of oring, is because of the diameter of screw which keeps the regulators in place. Because you have a larger diameter, a lot more grip to valve. And, yes, DIN is screwed into the valve, as you said, becoming one with the valve. But the diameter of the screw is a big factor when you work with this pressure.

But i got a yoke setup to use when I travel. every few places I've traveled(haven't done Europe) to had DIN tanks. A few have the removable inserts,but most don't. And some with the inserts couldn't remove them coz they'd been in so long. And using the adapter makes the setup longer and hits the back of my head. So for less hassle I travel with my yoke setup. If the dive shop I'm traveling to can tell me for sure I can use DIN setup, I'll take it. If they tell me they mainly use yoke and should have a few tanks with the inserts they can take out........ I'll take my yoke.

DIN is both stronger and more versatile. It's a no-brainer. However, A DIN with a-clamp converter is a pain. It defeats the weight argument, as the combination is heavier. And a DIN with converter sits closer to your head than a native yoke, because the DIN screw doesn't disappear, so that can be uncomfortable.

And you have to put up with the condition of the valve thread you use when diving on vacations around the world some of which I have seen I would never risk fitting my din into. It is fine if you dive with your own cylinders since you would maintain both but not when you travel. In 30 years of diving never seen a full oring loss on "A" clamp however seen 9 din failures due to cylinder valve threads which had not been looked at forever. So the oring housed inside was irrelevant.

Yoke is used worldwide (even in Europe and Africa, where DIN is quite common as well), if you have a yoke regulator you will find a cylinder everywhere in the world (but is bigger and cannot accept very high pressure cylinders!). If you have a DIN regulator, you may have troubles in some countries (unless you also have an adapter) but you have a smaller and lighter unit that can be also used with 300 bar cylinders (i.e. much more air available!).

I'll admit it's a little nit-picky, but I'm pretty sure DIN had nothing to do with the development of the DIN regulator. DIN is a standard for industrial machining, including screw threads. The DIN system uses a DIN screw thread to connect to the cylinder valve. That's where the DIN name comes from, not because DIN developed the connector.

I'm a newly certified diver, and I recently purchased my own set of gear, among which was a Yoke regulator. I now wonder if this was the right decision, given that I dive steel tanks (i.e. higher pressure). Insight?

Sell the yoke and buy DIN! Sorry! 🤗

Divers Ready with all due respect bad advice. Better to convert his current reg to DIN. True?

DO a quick call to the dive stores you would use to do your fills ........ your surprise will be most fills are to approx 200-220 bar anyway as many shops set the cut off a pressure for fills at max 230 bar. As a new diver save spending anymore money on the reg set and do some diving instead.

Nice video, but your explanation about DIN pressure is not correct. There are 200 (232) bar DIN regulators. It comes down to the number of threads. 5 threads DIN is 232bar 7 threads DIN is 300 bar. Quite some beginner regulators like the Aqualung Calypso, are only 232 bar regulators. Hope that info helps some of the readers.

DIN as everything German is a precision item. Put it into high numbers of students environment, like dive centers in the tropical destinations and you end up with broken threads all day long. I've seen a student put a yoke in opposite direction , driving the screw into air inlet 🤦♂️🤦♂️. But with those fantastic tank valves that can be converted, I think yoke will become history over time since before many fast afraid not to find a DIN tank in some areas, same reason my first reg was a joke.

Not really sure why manufacturers bother with the cost and effort of maintaining two SKUs on their mid-high end regs when they could just make Din regulators with a yoke adapter built in, and one product covers all markets. I bought my Mares regs in yoke and had them converted to DIN, then had to get a yoke adapter to go the other way.
