I was diving on Saturday, down about 22m or so and had just hit the bottom. I was waiting for the rest of the group to catch up and went to inflate my BCD a bit and the button got stuck in. The thing just kept pumping air into the BCD and it inflated to an incredible pressure around my chest and I started floating up from the bottom. I managed to grap hold of the anchor before I got too high and I also held in the manual inflator button to try to get rid of the air in the BCD. It relieved some of the pressure but I was still struggling to hold onto the anchor and stay near the bottom. I fiddled with the button a bit and finally managed to unstick it. It was quite a scary experience, not sure how long it went on for, would only have been 20 seconds max, but enough time to get the adrenaline going. I continued the dive, avoiding using the inflator. Anyone else had this happen to them?
