Leaking SAV:
Any leaking should be easily spotted while operating the pre-dive checks before descent.
In case the leaking is noticed once the dive has started (bubbles seen from the valve, or
you feel water seeping in from the SAV side):
1.
Ensure the SAV is closed while upright. If not, close the SAV and verify you don't
have leaks. Exhaling/clearing the mask as per training skills will dump all water
and you will be able to identify if the SAV is still leaking.
2.
If the SAV is closed, but it is still leaking ABORT THE DIVE. When on the boat/
on land, ensure the SAV is clean, doesn't have any debris or other deposit that
prevent it from closing properly. If you have a SAV III basic make sure the body
of the valve is properly screwed in the port and make sure that the gasket in
the port is in place. If you own a Neptune III with installed SAV III, make sure
there is no debris or deposit that prevents the ring to close, make sure the cap
is not unscrewed.
If these steps of troubleshooting don't result in a perfectly working SAV – contact a
Service Center or our Customer Service. DO NOT DIVE.
