Novice here and had a situation arise on my last dive. Going into the second dive of the day, my wife assembles everything, turns the air on to check pressure and notices a leak between the hose fitting and the second stage on the Octo. I also notice that the fitting was loose. Third dive total by the way on this piece of equip purchased and assembled by LP.
I took it to the shop on site (spring dive), and he took it apart and the O-ring was cut and nicked. He replaced it and off we went and everything was fine.
I get home and noticed that my hose was loose between the same fitting and 2nd stage on MY Octo (same set-up as wife's). Yes assembled and purchased at LP. I unwind the Octo and look in the fitting. No O-Ring?
I am concerned about our equipment/safety. I purchased everything (BC, computer, Reg, etc.) from LP times 2 for my wife.
I do not want a LP vs. LDS debate, that has been played.
Question 1. Is there supposed to be an O-Ring at that end of the hose? I assume so.
Question 2. Should I have my equipment serviced by an LDS. Maybe give LP a call and ask what the deal is.
What suggestions do you have.
Thanks,
Ryan
