TIL I was flooding my own helmet because of a bad valve check
After 16 years of diving in the Gulf off Louisiana, I was doing a routine pipeline inspection and kept getting water in my helmet. I finally noticed the leak was coming from my own bailout valve - I had been checking the valve in the wrong position before every dive. What simple habit do you realize you had wrong for years?

Bet you weren't checking the exhaust valve either, were you?

Did you even think to check the oil pickup tube screen (if this engine has one)?
