Back in the spring, I sprung for a larger blob (6ft/2m) with an OPV for open ocean diving.

Having used it a few times, it doesn't seem to stay a blob, it becomes more of a 'bleh' by the time it hits the surface. Every time. This doesn't happen with my smaller ~4ft non-OPV blob.

On land, I can blow it up and it won't leak air for days, but send it up the water column, and it'll loose most of its gas, have a bit of water in it, and for the most part, be about 1/5 full of gas/water.

Doesn't matter what depth, 6m, 20m. Always the same result.

On land/at surface it holds air just fine.


Any thoughts other than pitching it?
