Diagnosing common faults in diving equipment

Knowing the symptoms of equipment malfunctions allows you to act before the problem turns into an emergency.

Leakage in the regulator

The sound of continuous air without breathing or air leaking from somewhere. Solution: Stop the dive and rise.

Flotation vest not working

You cannot pump or deflate air. Check it in the pool before going out to sea.

The regulator hardly delivers air

It needs maintenance. Do not complete a dive with a difficultly operating regulator.
