I am not really DIR, so I can't be certain, but from what I have read, I don't think that a leaking BC would be considered DIR.

Your LDS should be able to help pressure test the BC. It would not be a bad idea to have a record of the "fact" that it had a leak. Even if they don't find a leak (because you fixed it) it provides some paper trail in case it ever becomes an issue later on. Just my thoughts.

Yes...it happens if it's not tighten down all the way. I've had it happen on other bc's over the years. However, since you tightened it down and it stopped there should be no issues.

My interpretation of Flamebug's post is that the corrugated hose connection (what would be the left shoulder pull dump on most BCDs) was simply loose. It doesn't sound at all like a defect, but just a normal bit of predive check or routine maintenance that needed to be done.

like they said no prob. But really if my Oxycheck BC had a leak would I post under the DIR forum? Can this be moved to the BC section since it has NOTHING to do W/ DIR???
