BC inflates itself help?

[lewis844]

Hey everyone I have a question for everyone I have a Cressi sub BC and it is inflating all by it self is there a wat to tweek it or do i have to have it serviced.

Probably not something to mess with, last thing you want is to be at depth and have that happen I would push you inflate button a few times to see if that is stuck, if not get it serviced. I get mine done at least once a year and its about 50 buck DEF worth the money when you life is on the line

ok i will get it serviced i didnt know if there was an easier way but i dont want to mess with it

Does anyone know what causes this? or know a site that has good info on this

You inflator button is stuck open.. Probably have to replace the whole inflator, but a shop might be able to fix it.

You could replace the inflator yourself. http://www.diverightinscuba.com/catalog/inflator-head-p-570.html

check to see if the inflator button has come loose, if so just screw it back in until it's tight

I will check that tonight that could be it.

Just like your regulator, you should have your BCD checked as well. If this happens while diving, you can dis connect your BC hose, Manually inflate it while on your dive (Just like you learned in open water class)

Hope this helps.
