Happened to my wife on a dive trip in the Bahamas during our Christmas dive trip. We were diving off the Aqua Cat and on the 2nd dive of the day. Since my wife and I have different dive styles, we have different dive buddies. I had already dropped in, and was hovering above the bottom at about 25 feet. My wife and her buddy followed shortly after that. When they both got to the bottom there was a loud pop, and suddenly my wife was surrounded by a massive amount of bubbles. Her buddy grabbed her and they made an emergency swimming ascent to the back the boat. When they surfaced the tank was still releasing a large amount of air. The deck safety turned off the air and pulled my wife onto the boat. The yoke was off the tank and the O ring was still in place. Looking at the tank valve the dimple for the yoke screw was extremely worn. Now my wife had used this tank for nine previous dives and the crew had checked the yoke screw before she entered the water. She switched tanks, went back on the dive and no further issues the rest of the trip.
