Stephen,

Up until this point I was going to get the Dive Rite Manifold  but,
I was told that the DIN adapters did not screw all the way in on a Dive Rite. 
Since I have no personal experience with either I though I should solicit 
some other opinions. Have you experienced this?


Thanks,

Bob Wright
