Holly nice to know but most divers in the US of A use the yolk style. DIN is used mostly over sea.

Just FYI for anybody who has that kind of gear. I've dived in several languages on Bonaire, not all of them North American. Thank goodness we all speak the same language underwater!

My gear is so old, I'm replacing it piece by piece at the annual overhauls. I figure in another two years, I'll have a whole new rig. It's the diver whose parts are harder to replace.

And, BT is a board for the *world* as there are a lot of folks that might have this set-up. Holly, thanks:-)
