I have got my regs back from service recently.
On my first dive with them i got all kitted up and air on as normal and all is well until just as i'm about to enter the water. My octopuss starts blasting off like a machine gun "Pop, pop, pop, pop" short rapid bursts of air coming out of him. I couldn't stop this blasting off by blocking the mouthiece (Like you usually can with a freeflow).
I got my buddy to turn my air off and then purged my system. When he turned my air back on exactly the same again. There is no muck or debris in/under/around diaphram and the valve lever looks to be moving fine.
This will me going back to the store soon but what was the problem? I do recall that this happened to one of my regs in training whilst in the pool so i guess this is one of the more common problems.
This is an Oceanic Alpha octopuss by the way.
