It was his own gear. The DM examined the reg and helpfully suggested that he crazy glue it prior to his next dive. I don't know about you but I would not dive on a reg that is being held together with crazy glue.

FFMDiver:how did his regulator his crack?
BSea:Most 2nd stages are made of plastic, so it could easily have been cracked without him knowing. He could have cracked it on the boat, and it worked fine on his previous dive.
The tank problem is 1 reason I like BC's with 2 tank straps.
Sounds like you dive everything right.
Fish_Whisperer:The straps with metal buckles (Dive Rite) are even better. I had a persistent problem with the plastic cam-strap on my Cressi-Sub BC. I finally sold it and I'm sticking with the Dive Rite BC. I'm not sure if the cam straps wear out, the velcro wears out, or the buckle just can't be cinched tight enough, but I've seen lots of divers have problems with them in the short time that I've been diving.
