Positive presssure will protect the regulator.
It does represent a risk however. Are you sure it's the o-ring or is something else in the hardware distorted? If things are not seated up square total o-ring failure could happen.
As for the shallow dive, it's a risk judgement.
When in doubt ask for a fresh o-ring or have some with you and just take charge.

it was a shallow dive so i didnt get too hassled. im also sure it was an o-ring thing
i would have seriously thought of aborting the dive however if we did a deep wreck...
