I just did a dive this weekend where I had a slight burst of air leak from the first stage when I turned the tank on. On my DIN regulator, I did a quick check of the o-ring, looked fine, then when I turned on the air, there was a quick pop but then nothing. Reg breathed fine, no further leaks. When I pulled the o-ring out it had a crease in it. Looked to me like the o-ring was not sitting properly and when it pressurizing a seal was formed but part of the o-ring was caught. My gut is this would have breathed fine under water but I changed it to be safe. Did I just not check it well enough? Has anyone else had this happen?
