BCD repair

[scubawally]

After the dive that I conducted this weekend my dive buddy (also my brother) noticd a small leak in his wing (he has a diverite classic) and when we got home and took it apart we noticed a small hole in the bladder (pin sized). I was wondering if he has to replace the entire bladder or if it can be repaired. I dive with an OMS bp/w and I know that you can patch the bladders for those.


any help would be of a great benefit to us

Don't know for sure as it hasn't happened to my wing yet and I don't have diverite classic, but should be easily fixable. Go to the BC subforum and do a search. Here is one result.

I have quite successfully repaired pin holes in a wing with aquaseal. The repaired wing has held for 10 years even under extreme inflation with multiple stages,and never been problem. A larger hole I'd use a patch.

You can get packs that look a little like the old bicycle repair kits. Email dive rite and see if they do them
