Hello All - I'm a new diver, just four boat dives since my OW in Nov in San Diego. I was looking for a reg in the $250 to $300 range & lucked out finding that in a Hollis DC1 212 yoke Reg, new-open box at scuba.com which is close by my mom's. What a great staff over there by the way. I'm jazzed about trying the reg out this coming weekend in Monterey. I have almost all my own gear, borowing the rest including tanks.
My question(s) - my techy-geek friends(hope they aren't reading this) in a club in SD are letting me use their steel HP DIN tanks. What is the best connector to adapt my new first stage to DIN. Money is an object, but I know it is my life support. I'd probably leave the DIN connection on since I am using their tanks consistently. I was originally shopping for DIN regs and using a yoke adpater when needed. (Was looking at a Zeagle ZX/50D DIN with yoke adapter)
Any other thoughts on DIN to yoke vs Yoke to DIN.
I'll probably purchase a neutral aluminum tank(s) to allow me to beach dive more, and I can borrow the big 120 HP steel DIN tanks from my pals for the boat diving....but thats in the future.
Thanks for any ideas. Perhaps I'll post some of this in the reg section. Sorry to ramble but you guys have been muy helpful.
