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.

lmao, been using din for the past 3 decades wtf, muricans, wake up, like with the imperial system and all that nonsense.

Devil's Advocate - raised on Yoke & still like it - FOR ITS DESIGNED USE!!! Just like DIN. FYI - 'DIN is the future of diving' may not be the most appropriate title. DIN appeared in 1917 - kinda' early for scuba!! Healthways had a DIN-style reg/valve in the 1960s so perhaps the question ought to be, "Why isn't DIN universally in use?". There are more than a few reasons that I can share if interested. If not, ostrich on!!!

Looks like shit. Nice job

I came up on DIN and only ended up on yoke because that’s all that was available for the reg set I was looking at. Can they be swapped later?

I have been researching this for several years and have come back around to some modern ideas... Yes SCUBA Verse has some clean audio I also noticed this a few years ago. Cheers, #SeattleRingHunter

Knife on leg...? Really?

Yeah cut the reusable zipties so you can’t use it on a larger flashlight later

YIKES. I STAND CORRECTED - WHEN I BOUGHT MY SWIM FINS FROM FORCE FINS - THE ONE'S IN YOUR HANDS WERE ONLY SOLD AS SWIM FINS. I GUESS IF YOU REALLY WANT TO MAKE A PROPER ASSESSMENT YOU WOULD NEED TO BUY THE FORCE FINS THAT LOOK LIKE DIVE FINS (THE EXTRA FORCE FINS) THAT ARE LONGER LIKE YOUR ORIGINAL ONES. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY THEY BEGAN MARKETING THEIR SWIM FINS - IDENTICAL IN FACT MADE FROM THE SAME MOLD - BUT A BIT STIFFER -- THEY SELL A BIT OF A DIFFERENT VERSION NOW THAN THE ONES THAT I BOUGHT FOR DIVING. THEY CHANGED THE DIVE FINS A BIT AS THEY USED TO HAVE SLIGHT WINGS ON TOP THAT WERE ADJUSTABLE. THOUGH THEY NO LONGER SELL THAT EXACT MODEL, IT LOOKS ALMOST IDENTICAL TO THE EXTRA FORCE FIN. SO SELL THE ONES YOU HAVE AND DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND GET THE EXTRA FORCE FIN. IT'S PRICEY BUT NICEY! COSTS A FORTUNE BUT YEP YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. RATHER THAN USING THE OLDER ORGINALS YOU HAVE - THESE FINS WERE DESIGNED BASED ON THE ANIMALS THAT SWIM IN THE OCEAN. YOU CAN'T FIND A BETTER FIN.

FIRST OF ALL - SORRY FOR ALL CAPS - I'M NOT SCREAMING . I JUST WANT YOU TO READ THIS CLASSIC CHURCH. WHAT YOU SHOWED THERE ARE THE NORMAL OCEAN FORCE SWIM FINS FOR SWIMMING IN THE OCEAN. BEFORE YOU COMPARE IT TO YOUR ORIGINAL DIVE FINS, YOU MIGHT WANT TO BUY FORCE FINS THAT ARE DIVE FINS, RATHER THAN USING THEIR SWIM FINS AS DIVE FINS. BUY THEIR ACTUAL DIVING FINS AND THEN REPOST A REVIEW. IT'S LIKE COMPARING APPLES TO WATERMELONS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND PLEASE KNOW THAT THESE FINS LAST A LIFETIME AND THEY SAVE YOUR FEET WHEN WALKING ON ROCKS OR CORAL. . THE DESIGN IS BETTER IN THAT YOU DON'T GET CRAMPS IN YOUR CALF MUSCLES ANYWHERE NEAR AS MUCH AS YOU DO WITH A REGULAR FIN WHICH IS A LIFE SAVER. I AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE BETTER IF THEY HAD A PLACE TO TRY THEM ON. I WHISH YOU HAPPY DIVING. I ALSO BOUGHT THEIR DIVING FINS AND I HAVE BOOTS AND THEIR SOLUTION IS THE BEST FOR DIVING AS WELL AS THE BEST SWIM FINS ON THE PLANET. I'M AN ENTHUSIASTIC CUSTOMER AND HAVE NO AFFILIATION WITH THE COMPANY. I HAVE BEEN TO THEIR COMPANY iN SANTA BARBARA AND IT'S A SMALL PLACE. IF EXPENSE IS A PROBLEM, THEY USED TO SELL BLEMS - BLEMISHED FINS FOR LESS MONEY. Not sure if that's still the case.

What turbinates did you have decreased?

Lmao did he do a front flip out? Lol I know! I know! He didn’t. Just how he exited!

In Asia, yoke is more common. I wanted a DIN but my instructor/DM said to just go with yoke because that's what everyone uses. Similarly, I see a lot of tourists from the west having to switch from DIN to yoke and it can be quite a hassle especially when they only realize it minutes before the start of a dive.

The only advantage I can say for a Yoke is that it is slightly faster to put on as it is easier to align the A-clamp to the tank valve. For DIN, it might take some time to get the threads align before screwing it in. However, this is a very minor convenience compared to all the advantages that the DIN provides.

SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK

as a former paratrooper and curent sky diver I like that video so much, never jump out this bloody good looking airplane i M SORRY

The dive shop I work at doesn’t stock DIn 1st stage regulators

All I dive and own is DIN

Just forgot to mention the ease of putting them on and taking them off for OAPs. Plus diving on rubber boats with limited space etc

Well done the one point you missed is the ability to replace a strap with more bungie cable if it ever breaks. Used these Fines since they first came out due to compact size and weight for flying. The only disadvantage to me ever was as you say current or snorkeling/free diving in the last 20 years. I5 amazing that so many people have never seen my yellow fins. I forgot that you can also be easily spotted in a dive group
