Divers,

Things are changing in the diving market.  As aware divers perhaps we should
change if there is a better way.

I started diving many years ago when the "J" valve was the normal valve of
choice for many (Double Hose Reg. / No SPG) divers of that time.

Since then, the SPG has come out, the double hose reg has given way to
single hose reg's.  So there isn't much need today for a "J" valve on
tanks.

But things are still getting better.  What about the "K" valve.  Is it
the best choice?  I don't thinks so.

I have remove all the "K" valve from my personal tanks and replaced them
with DIN (DIN 300) valve.  Din valve provide a much more solid attachment
point for a regulator.
