TDI Cavern Diver Practice Exam

A 300 bar DIN regulator can indeed be safely used with a 200 bar DIN valve, and this compatibility is mainly due to the design of DIN fittings. The DIN connection system is standardized, allowing a higher-pressure regulator to be fitted onto a lower-pressure valve without any issues as long as the fitting size matches.

In this case, the 300 bar regulator is designed to withstand higher pressures, but it does not exceed the operational limits of the 200 bar valve. The pressure transmission is still controlled: the regulator will only deliver pressure up to what the valve can handle (200 bar in this case), ensuring safety during the dive.

It is essential to always check the specifications of your gear before a dive to ensure that all equipment is rated for the pressures involved, but as long as the regulator and valve match the DIN specifications, they will work together safely.

Regarding the other choices, the statement about incompatibility does not hold true since DIN standards allow for this compatibility. The mention of needing additional adapters is unnecessary as the connection will fit directly if the DIN fitting is the same size. Lastly, stating that it is only safe for specific types of dives does not apply here; the equipment can be used for any dive where the pressures are
