so i guess i found the a iPhone of the diving world 😂😂😂

OP, no mention of the Negro League Baseball Museum in Kansas City?

What about Mt. Sunflower, the highest point in Kansas, or the Salt Marsh, or the Native American site of Etzanoa?

Is there a light you would recommend. I dive 20 times about 2 times a year.

dive shop can convert your yoke first stage to din for $30.

Only using yoke -> Divi Flamingo Bonaire

Tech divers use DIN almost without exception; there’s a reason 👌

God I hate jumping

Used force fins for 15 years. Will never go back to regular fins. They are much better in every phase for diving. You just need to get used to the light feeling

I have > 500 dives logged on paper. I keep the logs in binders and scanned in my Dropbox. They do come in handy for finding old dive buddies, seeing what temps were and how much weight I used. Plus, they are great prods to memory. Plus, the act of writing the log reinforces the process of reflecting on what went right and what went wrong on the dive, leading to seeing what you can learn from the experience. That said, I have the electronic log, too.

Last time I used a yoke regulator was when my tank o-ring blew at 100' down on a night dive in cold water beach dive in California. Converted my reg to DIN and haven't regretted it for a second, even 400+ dives later.

Dove it couple weeks ago loved it

I agree John. Not worth going with such poor visibility unless you happen to be in the area. Thanks for the review.

dude you just don't know how to use, I have pair from 1998 that are still perfect never wear out. and this have look at fast fish tail, thats all I can say.

Metric forever 📏📐📏📐📏📐📏📐📏📐📏📐

Yes.. Please use DIN and metric system too... Greeting from Europe :)

JM's final clear to the rear would have been a certain NO GO if I was grading him, other than that, great duty.

Most liveaboards use Yokes......

Remember You can use the yoke as most of us do as a weight for automatic door closing, it is cheap it only requires 2 screws a nylon cord and 1 to 2 Yoke. So even a Yoke can be used for something 🙂

This is very well done, thanks!

I didn't realize there was an alternative, curious to see what this DIN is, do big name tech divers use it? Is it safe? I didn't even know there was a problem with the old way

Belgian diver here… almost everybody here is using 300bar steel tanks with din connectors…

Would I have to sell my old yoke regulator or can I get it changed to din in a dive shop?

I have both. Yoke much more comfortable. Din is not better

I bought a DIN and adaptor back in 2013 ,never needed the adaptor as everywhere I went I could use DIN

Ive never used anything other then DIN. to be honest i forgot about yoke.

In Galena, Ks there's a stop along part of the original Route 66 caled Cars On The Route that's a cute place to go for anyone who's a fan of Route 66. A few miles away in a small township called Riverton, there's a little store called Nelson's Old Riverton Store that's not only a teeny, tiny deli/store, but also a gift store for Route 66 merchandise. Also in Riverton is the last remaining Route 66 rainbow bridge. If they still have it open, you can actually drive across it. My dad is from Riverton. So ive been to all of these places. That's how I became a fan of Route 66 and its history.

Always good to hear the DIN get shout-outs. probably one of the greatest exports we Germans have ever created.

Yoke also means +100g of nonsense metal.

The only thing where it has a (very slight) advantage is when students tighten too much. You have less of a chance of getting the regulator stuck with yoke. But yeah, DIN is superior, we pretty much only use DIN in Northern Europe.

Buy din regs. Always. No exception. Just have an adapter if in a location with yoke tank valve.

As a brand new scuba diver, I brought that for between din and yolk to dive center, and I kid you not that was the exact reason I went with a yolk stage one was that it was more common around the world but now that I see that there is a yoke adapter for the DIN I will be switching over my stage, one to be more versatileI really appreciate this video and information

Din is just better… and I use, and teach Yoke 99% of the time…

I'm certified and I got my own gear 4 years ago. I made sure to get DIN. I had my own cylinder. Now, I live overseas so I sold the cylinder but took everything with me. DIN just makes more sense, especially on the cylinder. If someone has yoke, use the pro valve. If you're on a boat and all cylinders are yoke, use the adapter. I always have one with me when I travel. Yoke is like the imperial system. People like it because that's what they're familiar with. Nobody outside of America uses it

i'm lucky that my dive instructor was good and told me that din was flat out batter.

I enjoy mine immensely. I’m sure you’ll enjoy yours too.

I love all of Catalina. There are even better dive spots than the park. But I usually stick to Laguna Beach spots. They are protected , so life is large and plentiful. It only costs gas money and the parking is free 🧜‍♂️🤙

I recommend them, been diving them since 1998, use both fun dives, and navy dives, Rebreather, and snorkel, in heavy current I exert les energy, and constant thrust... this video is from and army man...I spend my time underwater...on a submarine swimming in and out, give them a try...

Preach it brother! I've been on DIN for 25+ years - yoke sucks. EVERY remote dive destination we travel to has pro valves and we are able to dive without converters

People who use yoke are the same who use feet and PSI in diving.... not the logical method 😉

Grand Cayman is loaded with shops that only use yoke. I use DIN at home in the north with 3500 psi tanks, and often use yoke in the tropics because it is more common depending on where you are. You can't knock the fact the yoke has worked well for decades and in over 50 years of diving I have never heard of yoke failing if it sealed up ok on pressure up. Which do I prefer? why DIN of course ...!

Hope to see more scuba content from you in the future.

1-8 rethink your life 9 find i 35 10 get out of Kansas ASAP

Just double checked my regulator and: how farsighted I was at the purchase point to buy scubapro D.I.N. "first stage" + "yoke" adapter. Thank you for brining this subject up!

I'm curious to see when Americans will finally start using their brains and switch to the metric system ... but who am I kidding, that would be too progressive and logical for most Americans.

I use Force Fin Pro when shore diving here in Southern California, because it's much easier to put them on when walking into the surf. For flutter kick they work better than my larger Deep 6 Eddie fins.

Here’s a question: what is it whit this obsession with large fin’s? They are, in my experienced opinion, only good for transportation swimming and if you don’t have very strong legs they won’t give you more power or speed then you get with short fin’s, not to mention the impaired manuvreybillity whit large fin’s compared to short fin’s. Btw, haven’t been out fined yet 😁

DIN is good

Any tec diver using force fins should be ashamed; just can’t frog kick with them.
