Hey Guys... I was in Mexico last week diving some really beautiful locations but had a strange thing happen during one dive. After about 15 minutes and at about 80 feet my air gauge started to move wildly during breaths. When I'd inhale it would move from 2000 psi to about 800 psi. Breathing was labored and pretty difficult. I moved up to 20 feet and continued the dive because I could easily move to the surface if I ran out of air. Even at that depth the same thing happened and finally ran out of air at 15 feet (as I was expecting) while the gauge was jumping from 1000 psi to 300 psi during each breath. Tank valve was totally open. Anyone know what was happening? Dive master seemed lost but I was in Mexico after all with rental equipment. I'll post some awesome videos on Youtube soon and share.
I should note. Right before my last breathe my gauge showed 600 psi (as I held my breath). One more breath and it was out. I was holding the gauge right in front of my face and I knew it was coming.
