So on a recent dive trip, I noticed after I turned opened the tank valve to check to see how much air the boat's crew put in the tank, and then closed the valve, the pressure in my reg setup dropped ~50 PSI per second. On both dives, after a 1-minute paddle out from the boat to the drop line, and then about a 1-minute wait to give other groups clearance in their descents, and then a 1-1.5 minute descent to 90 feet, the pressure in my tank dropped ~500 psi. The wrinkle, however, stems from the fact that the leaking seemed to have slowed/stopped while I was at depth. Any idea why this would happen?
Additional info: When I re-tested the reg at home with my own tank, there was still some pressure drop after shutting off the tank valve, but it did not drop nearly as fast of a rate as on the boat trip
