As a new diver I'm hoping to get a comprehesive list of things that I should do in the event that... (this or that goes wrong). We briefly went over things in the OW class, but I know I will encounter other issues. Sure, many can be prevented with proper planning and checks, but what to do when things happen anyway?
1. Your BCD starts inflating on its own - disconnect the low pressure inflator hose underwater and orally inflate / deflate. Flick and fiddle with your inflator button to try to dislodge the piece of sand that may be stuck in it. Re-hook LP hose and check.
2. What to do in the event of a free flow (to stop it)?
etc, etc.
