You are out to lunch here... DIN has nothing to do with tech diving.... It generally has to do with working pressure.... Sherwood Genesis tanks, and USD HP tanks have a working pressure of 3500 psi, so they come out of the factory with DIN valves... Apparently the O Rings on yoke valves don't take the high pressure as well as DIN... > > Maybe we should rename this mailing list to "Advanced Technical Divers > Only Mailing List - Don't Ask Us Newbie Questions Or We Will Make Fun Of > You!" Mike; I would really prefer that this mailing list be used to ask questions that could not be reliably answerred on rec.scuba. I don't think that is too much to ask. -- Regards, Andy W.
