I recently experienced a freeflow on my ATX 200 when I took the 2nd stage out of my mouth to orally inflate my wing.
I was surprised and could'nt get it stopped - finally had to shut down the valve and surface.
I spoke to my favourite Dive Guru and he said it's because I had the Venturi switch in the wrong position. Well this made sence and I thought what a dope I am.
I have since thought some more about it and wondered what the heck .....
This would mean that if I have an OOA diver approach me I must first switch the Venturi switch to (-) before removing it from my mouth and donating it. That does'nt seem right to me ... but what do I know??? It seems to me that maybe my regulator is too sensitive and that's why it freeflowed.
I'd love some input from my other favourite Dive Gurus.
Thanks
