I was diving with a rented equipment, and at around 20 meters after 10-11 mins of diving my BCD started inflating uncontrollable (I checked everything before the dive, it was ok). I tried to get attention of our guide, but he didn’t understand. I closed the tank halfway to the surface (I know I should’ve detached the inflator hose, but everything was to fast and I only thought about closing the tank). So I ascended to the surface in 25-30 seconds, my guide ascended and told me to go back on a boat, so I did. My teeth and ears hurt like s**t. On the boat deckman just gave me a painkiller, said that it’s “a bad luck” and changed the BCD and since that time no one gave me any attention, they only asked me if I’m going for our second dive, which I said no to. When we went back to harbour, I was asked for full payment ( for rental and dives), I argued a bit and payed only for the dive.
So, can anyone help to understand was it normal behaviour of the diving centre or what else could be done. I know that ascending from 20 meters after 10 minutes of diving isn’t lethal, but I was kinda a bit frustrated about the whole situation and the lack of attention I received.
