While in Belize diving last Jan my o-ring on my high pressure line into my 1st stage broke. I went to get my o-ring kit out of my bag and inadvertently left it in the hotel. The dive master I've got o-rings said I'll fix it and took it below. A few minutes later he came back and said you're good to go. I connected up to the tank turned on the air and no issues, not that I was expecting any.
Flash forward seven months. Wife and I are getting ready for a long weekend to go diving in Fl with sharks. I decided to convert my Aqua Lung 550i inline dive computer to a quick disconnect. Got the kit for AL which included a new high pressure hose. I took the old hp hose off of the first stage and low and behold there were two o-rings . They were a bit undersized and snug. My guess was the dive master didn't have the correct size, put two that were just a bit too small and called it even.
I've done probably 15 dives since he replaced them. I can't say I've ever seen that trick done. It's worked fine! Thoughts on what the dive master did and has anyone else ever done this?
