Search results for query: leaking inflators

I just finished doing a leak test. I went around the whole suit a few times with soapy water with it inflated. My wife and I found one spot right by the logo patch on the arm that just has a few Tiny Bubbles. I'm not sure if that's enough to get the kind of wet I was getting but I suppose it's...

I switched inflators and the hose to a known non leaking one from another wing

thanks again for your time. It seems like a decent wrist computer as recommended here is either $400 or $700 in Canada so it's looking like the peregrine is still in the mix. One note; I was looking at the hog package mostly because it has a good reputaion and the bc is a travel version. Most...

I would try closing the valve until you get in the water, inflate the suit in the water and then open the p-valve. (Assuming you can, the light monkey p-valve is really easy to open and close, just make sure not to forget to open it...) Also checking for leaks inflating your suit with...

Water is not getting in through the lpi hose. It is under pressure and impossible for water to enter. Water may be leaking from around the valve and being pushed/spread when inflating

I have had regulators first stages have IP issues causing second stage leaks but never causing LPI issues leading to unintended bc inflation and second stage leak at the same time.

Yes, @SlugLife describes the procedure I was taught (in 1986 during my open water course) and still use: Mount your 1st stage on your cylinder, and connect all hoses. During your regulator check, at some point turn your cylinder valve off, depressurize your reg completely (using your purge...

Picked this but from a dive buddy to use it doesn’t fit me. There are a total of 12 easy fresh water lake dives on it (tags still on the bag). I leak tested the suit (see pic) no leaks and stayed inflated. Suit is a medium, the boot size is medium. This will come with the drysuit, carry bag, dry...

Your base layers are doing their job of wicking. So does your undersuit. The moisture condensates when the warm moisture hits the colder membrane suit. With enough moisture, it feels wet. However, if you are soaked, there might be a leak. Graham Blackmore has a genious video on how to leak...

What’s a good cylinder valve for my stages?

Just on the kick Apeks theme; have several Apeks regs needing repairs and servicing. Most of my regulators are Apeks (about 10 1st stages and 12 second stages) as they are generally have been very reliable, but now seeing too many failures for my liking. This past year I've had at least 3...

Hi All, my Diving Concepts Crushed neoprene Neo Z drysuit is leaking by the inflator valve. I guess it's a Si Tech valve, It rotates to orient to the incoming hose. It's a little separated from the neoprene. I cannot find a way to disassemble it and I do not want to do too much force and break...

Resilience, insulation, dexterity. Pick any two. The G17K gloves (black outside, white inside) are the standard ones included with Kubis and other glove rings. These have good dexterity but need to be checked by holding the ring and inflating the glove and listening for leaks before every...

Hi, I have an LP inflator hose for my drysuit that is leaking air when it is disconnected but still pressurized. It quits leaking if you turn off the air and depressurize the line and then open the tank valve again. Normally this probably wouldn’t be noticed or cared about, but I am diving...

Quick neck with waterproof neoprene on both a nova and an ultra, no warm neck, don’t like the way the warm neck gets in the way of repairs and finding leaks

I've had two failures this year with the Schrader valve in two Miflex LP inflator hoses. The first was last May when I was in Bali, resolved quickly by changing the hose to a normal rubber hose. On my way home I bought another Miflex hose in Singapore. Yesterday when gearing up using a...

It could become "major" for other reasons though, dpending on the type of leak. If the OP is already switching out hoses and inflator I don't think getting it wet in the tub is any harm. Clean tub, LOL

APEKS ThermIQ Adv Dry drysuit - Medium - New /4 dives with upgrades No problems, No leaks, Great suit. Its just a touch too big for me, This Apeks suit seems to run a bit big .. I am 5'10 175 lbs, I could easily be taller and heavier. *Boots installed- WaterproofUSA Kevlar soft boot size 27 - I...

I've had my Nova since 2020 and dive with it quite a lot (around 150 dives a year, not including holidays). Mainly in lakes, but also caves, the Atlantic and the Mediterranean and a lot of training. I ordered the Tech Boots and they leaked completely after two years. I wouldn't recommend them...
