Cut the inflator hose? Lol

 

[Jack Hammer]

Yes I did since you can use your drysuit to get you back to the surface and I would cut my inflator hose to prevent an uncontrolled ascent

You may want to think that process all the way through before trying it underwater...

Option 1: Disconnect the inflator hose using it's handy quick disconnect fitting. Inflate orally as needed.

Option 2: Pull out the knife, start hacking, and create a fairly massive air leak to deal with while you're surfacing 'with your drysuit'.


Which to choose.......

Have you tried disconnecting a line with dry gloves it's nearly impossible that's why I said I would cut it not all the way but enough of a the hose is easily replaceable

 

[teknitroxdiver]

Well, I certainly wish you the best in your endeavors. You might want to find an old hose and give this plan a dry run before staking your life on it, though. I think you'll be surprised.

You will need bolt cutters to cut a LP line.

 

[Littlerayray]

No the soft rubber hose used for inflating

 

[PfcAJ]

Turn the valve off while depressing the deflate button if you can't disconnect it promptly.

Getting the knife out and hacking away is moronic when there's already a way to make the thing leak air out.

 

[Littlerayray]

I see your point

Yes..I do it practically every other weekend in dry gloves with heavy liners. It is not anywhere near close to being nearly impossible. I suggest swapping out your inflator hose if it's giving you that much trouble or adding one of these to it.

As frank as I can be here, the fact that you think your first option is to cut your LP inflator scares me. A lot.
