We do like to show off our Puget Sound. I have done more than one "let me show you" dive with out of staters.Super Nice folks. Loaned me a couple of 100 cf tanks, then a Mk-25 reg when I learned that y'all don't dive yoke valves there, weights - dived with me for a couple of days, which had to be a little little like tour guiding. It is different there. It was all I could do to make them let me pay for the Hood permits and lunch.
There are a few divers here who use yoke valves ~ but not many DIN is a better choice in IMHO.
