JeffG:I'm not sure about regs blowing up, but when you start tech diving you better make sure you O2 clean your mask. When you are deco'n out on 100% you are exhaling ~80% O2 and if you accidentally exhale out of your nose (ie into your mask). When it hits that snot and goo that you spit into your mask.....BOOOOOOOM. Nothing more disturbing than watching your buddies head explode into a pile of goo and watch him sink into oblivion without a head.
ROTFLMAO!!!
I was diving off a boat out of Nanaimo over a year ago and a couple of divers were on rebreathers. They also had bail out tanks. (Bail out or stage bottles ??). When the one diver came up he said his reg on the bail out tank had exploded. The cap on the second stage came off and any of the internals that are held in by the cap were gone.
