Hello,
I recently went diving and after returning home and washing my equipment I noticed there was some green build-up on the first stage, the build-up does not wash off with just running water, and is not mossy in nature, it feels hard to the touch. Has anyone encounter this? Any ideas what it is? how to get rid of it? prevent it from happening again? What caused it to happen on the first place?
Sorry for all the questions but I would like to have this first stage last a while.
In case it matters, it is an oceanic first and second stage combo. Bought less than a year ago, used for a trip to the keys where we did about 10 dives, cleaned and stored in dry storage after trip. It has not been serviced.
Ive taken and included some pictures in hopes that itll help you guys help me figure out what it is. Sorry about the bad picture quality.
