Water inside first stage?

[DiverNordic]

You got water pre-dive. You dove, no issues. Unless I’m misunderstanding you??

So what’s happened during/after the dive to concern you?

Nothing happened, breathes perfect, just paranoid if any left over water dropplets got into the first stage when opening the tank valve. Im a rookie diver so i get conserned with things like that.

Tbh its unclear of and how much water there has been.
Possibly some of the salt(?) Water came through.

By breathing a lot of dry air through it, the moisture will be gone. However there can be residuals especially salt.

If I were to dive in cold water conditions I would get it serviced, telling the service about it. Note I am conservative...


In warm water I would be less worried, if it breathes fine. Have seen too many people tossing the whole regs into the cleaning box, so almost every rental regulator will got some water inside. And there are not many if at all incidents regarding this.
However cleaning water does not have salt (well a bit accumulating from the cleaning). However there will probably also be some incidents like that, this gear is not treated well.

Anyway thats a comment for the remainder of the trip. Afterwards I would get it serviced, so just a bit earlier.

IF a little got in, think im good to use it the rest of the week and have it serviced when i get home?

The amount of water that may have entered your first stage from the described incident is insignificant. Dive your regulator with confidence for the remainder of your trip. When you get home you may consider a service, talk to your trusted shop.

It happened today, i have 5 more dives this week. IF there is a little saltwater that got in, am i good to use it for the rest of the week and have it serviced when i get home?

Its already happened. Keep using it for your trip.

Future reference for you. If you suspect water got into your valve then put a towel over it and open the valve briefly. Wham, bam, no more water.
