It seems that even for meticulous people, the BCD operation gets little attention in the pre-dive checks. My BCD process: -- Well before the dive, fully inflate BCD, make sure overpressure valve opens properly -- Make sure overpressure valve closes properly -- BCD now fully inflated and holding...

I have one of these for sale: SubGravity Donut Wing for Doubles. Manufactured August 2021 44 lb (20 kg) lift Black with blue gusset Low-profile OPV. I believe this design is optimized for use with a rebreather with a back-mounted counterlung. Inflator and corrugated hose made by Hydpro Does...

Don’t have access to any of these unfortunately.

Hard to tell, from your write up. Seems like you are saying water leaks into the the suit... not air from the inflater..... is that correct? Water should not be in the hoses... so no need to check that... Only place it can leak is at the valve to suit connection. Are you sure its leaking...

Usually you would glue in these valve ports: Sitech Valve port Otherwise it would be pretty leaky - depending on the drysuit fabric how big a leak.

it sounds like a leak coming from the front. could be neck seal, chest inflator valve, or even front chest zip. if you have one of the sitech neck rings, double check the seal is seated correctly.

hi all and thank you for reading. i've found a source of air leaks from my OMS 32 lbs wing - several mini cuts of the same length close to each other, and there is another on on the other side (same area of the wing, just opposite side). Not 100% sure how it happened as the shell has no visible...

In my books hoses should last longer than 4 years, unless your diving every day, and they get alot of sun, or something, But there is trash out there, Hard to tell in the picture, but I suspect the quick connect oring, Quick test, - uncouple it off the power inflator, -- does it stop...

Depending on the type you may want to replace the whole thing. The generic ones are cheap.

Have you ever experienced a failure of the over pressure valve? If so, what was the experience and how did you deal with it?

Hi, I conducted a drysuit leak test on my DUI Yukon II drysuit. I did the test with the drysuit right-side out and filled via the drysuit inflator. I clipped the dry gloves on. I sealed the neck with a small plastic bucket and reinforced with electrical Tape. I closed the dump valve completely...

Thx for your info - what are you using for a separate connector through the suit? I would still like to use my heated vest/gloves on longer dives but do not trust my 303.

PM sent.

I have a Seaskin Nova, and have put about 20 dives on it. It has leaked to varying degrees on every dive. I make sure the zipper is closed completely and that my neck seal and dry gloves are seated correctly. I have disassembled and cleaned the dump and inflator valves. I have done several leak...

The bubbles you're seeing are probably from the air trapped in the fabric of the BCD coming out at the beginning of the dive.

One problem is, most inflators have the pressure, so it try's to open the valve, the spring is pushing back against the seat surface area of the spool, and keeping it shut. So several things could be the problem. Too high intermediate pressure, Sticky orings and dirt (as mentioned) Bad...

These were recovered still full after 40 years on the bottom. That is a SP Pilot.

I agree some bad advice. The doctor previously indicated that tank air may be required in an emergency on the surface to inflate the BC. This is very bad thinking in an emergency and he has corrected the statement. It is critical that you plan for oral inflation at the surface of the BC in an...

You could turn the suit inside out then seal the neck and wrist seals with whatever jug, bottle or ball you have on hand that creates a good seal. You don't need a tank and reg inside the suit. Just put as much air in a wrist before you seal it and kneel on the suit or roll up the legs to create...
