leak

I got a Dive Rite balanced p-valve installed on my drysuit this year since I was already getting new boots to replace the neoprene socks. I’m generally doing <2 hour dives so bladder management has never been an issue but I thought what the hell. I recently started diving SM and don my tanks in...

Hi all, I just bought a Scubapro Trinidad 3 mask online. It’s a frameless mask, and I never had frameless mask before, so I have nothing to compare. It just arrived and I noticed that on the outside (front side), some parts (mostly on the top parts) of the silicone that is attached to the glass...

Hi everybody, Due to cracks on the plastic cover of the light, this leaks during dive... Not identified before... So I will replace the body and I'm trying to repair the board. I first remove the residue of oxydation thanks a paintbrush and a small component has unsoldered. The ref is Q600...

Hi all, I purchased a scubapro ladyhawk. Got it set up to realize it has a leak. The leak is coming from joint where the corrugated hose meets the bladder. Is there supposed to be a gasket there? When I unscrew it I don't see one, but I can't find anything about a scubapro hose gasket online...

Hello All, I just put together a set of Faber LP85s with the blue steel valves and manifold (recently rebuilt). While pumping them up the manifold started leaking where it screws into the tank valve. I checked that everything was tight and that the single o ring was intact. Any tips on how...

I have a REALLY hard to pin down drysuit leak that has gotten to the point that the suit is unusable. I have done just about everything I can think of to track down and fix the problem, but am getting frustrated at my lack of success. It is a well fitting DUI TLS womens large suit with SiTech...

Anyone that's been diving drysuits for any length of time knows the awful feeling when you're in the middle of your dive and you feel that little trickle on your left shoulder. It doesn't take long for your whole left arm to get soaked, cold, and miserable. Many of us have learned how to...

Hi guys, I am looking for a way to test my shoulder dump valve for leaks at home (as opposed to getting discomfort during so many more dives…). It’s leaking for sure, but not always (depends how open and how squeezed I am in the suit). I like a lot what this guy did – his video shows how he...

Hi guys, This thread is to share what solutions work when it comes to dry a drysuit which good flooded, and that has neoprene boots integrated in the suit. So: => It's not about the bit of condensation or sweat which we all get in our drysuit when water is cold. I am talking about a real flood...

I have a regulator that is only a couple years old. I had yearly maintenance done on it last fall. I tested it on a tank yesterday for the first time since getting it back from the shop and it'll make a hissing noise like its leaking air, then all of the sudden i hear a pop, and then it stops...

Guys, Yesterday i've had the pleasure to try the almost-new (bought used, but only 6 dives on it) Santi Emotion+ drysuit which i just got. It's also the first time i dive trilaminate drysuit & silicon wrist seals (i used to dive crushed neoprene & neoprene wrist seals). 2 issues i've...

DDT Vlog#20 - 5min Fix - SPG Leak Fix A small air leak from your SPG connection is one of the most common minor equipment mishaps divers encounter. With the proper spares and a simple tool, this problem can usually be remedied in a handful of minutes by the prepared diver. This video takes...

Have you or anyone you know installed a Light Monkey Tinkle p-valve on a crushed Neoprene drysuit? I installed LM p-valve onto my Pinnacle Black Ice drysuit five years ago using Auto\Marine Silicone to form a gasket to allow the valve to be removable for cleaning. This technique worked well...

I recently got the Olympus OM-D E-M1 (plus 60mm macro lens) with the Olympus housing, and I love it, it’s an awesome camera (some samples here). I did however have 2 very odd leaks in about 20 dives with the camera: - The leaks started only after about 10 minutes of diving, at about 12-15...

So, when I noticed small bubbles leaking from the connection between my SPG and hose, I knew it was the so-called "spool." Reading through the various threads in which someone asked about this, the solution seemed simple: unscrew the SPG, pull out the spool, and either replace the o-rings or...

A local police auction reseller sold me a used Viking Pro drysuit. It's a steal, but it has some issues, namely the zipper. The condition of the zipper when bought was far worse and I cleaned it up with soap water and used zipper wax. But I'm still worried about the seal, which is flaking off...

Does anyone else notice a problem between dives with mask fit? The mask that worked so well on dive number one suddenly leaks like a sieve on dive number two. Adjusting strap does not help. It's like the shape of my face changed between dives. It's possible that my 5-o'clock shadow had that...

I have been wearing prescription masks for 15+ years of diving. I have always used the .5 diopter increment lenses in a two lens mask. Recently I have had to add magnifiers to my mask. I tried the stick in magnifiers but they constantly fogged. I decided to have Sea Vision make me a mask with...

Hi there! I got a pair of ATX200 2nd stages on two DST 1st stages in a side mount config and they have worked flawlessly for the past 3500+ dives but recently has begun to produce a slight leak through the second stage after breathing the regs empty and turning on the gas again. Its not a...
