Hi all,
Little question ?... The other day when I was having my pool training we did some exercices. For one of the exercices a tank was on the bottom of the pool with just a regulator attached
(This was My own personal regulator).
At the end of the exercice one guy from our club tought it would be funny to try and breathe straight from the tank ??? And he had the bright idear to detache the first stage from the bottle with the bottle laying on the bottom of the pool !
In all the maintenance manuals and also in the coursebooks they tell you to keep water from entering your first stage. ( Explains the protection cap...). My regulator is an MK25/S600 (scubapro) combination and if I understood the explanations correctly the valve on this one opens more with less pressure ?
What are the concequences, what should i do, what's the risk for my gear ????
As my stuff came out of the water I hooked it back up straight away and purged both regulators (second and octo) to get the air flowing trough. As i got home i layed it a bit warm to dry (with the cap open).
Any advice... ???
