Is the DS4 available with a yoke?

[AquaBob]

I'm looking for a dedicated singles reg to be used primariy on vaction and with rental tanks.

Every picture I've seen of a DS4 has a DIB fitting. I've searched through all the +APEKS +YOKE posts here and checked the APEKS site and haven't been able to come to difinitive answer.

I'd like to avoid the 'head-bangin' that people talk about with the adapters so the worst case is I'll have to convert from DIN to Yoke if I can't get it that way directly.

Thanks

You know, to be honest, I don't know. You're right in that converting between the two takes about 30 seconds with a 6mm hex key and a wrench... but - if you're only using it as a singles reg, why don't you just get a DST? If you're only diving singles, you're not worried about hose routing or an overhead environment, so the knocks against the turret don't really factor into play.

My only reg is a DS4 with a yoke. I've heard of a few people having frequent leak problems with the DST turret

Yes, you can get the DS4 with a yoke. Unfortunately, I just got another one that Im goin to have to convert to DIN.

What was leaking? My wife dives a DST and we've never had a problem with it. Is there something I should be keeping an eye on?

Some people claim the O-ring sealing the turret has a tendency to leak and thus bubble air out. It's never happened to me (I have a DS4 instead of a DST), but I've seen several people claim it happens to them.

I use Ds4's as my deco bottle regs as I get good hose breathing position. They do come with yoke OR you can get a DIN to Yoke Adapter and go both ways
