DDR Rebreathers: mechanical failures

Yesterday, my 2nd stage wasn´t working properly:
Today my purge valve wasn´t working properly... it seems that even yesterday it wasn´t working that well to, today it was unlble to pass on the security positive procedure; kept leeking..

Even so, we went off to Sea, knowing that i would be doing a short dive, with my eyes glued to the gauge (the thing that tells you the ammount of breedable air mixture that you have left)
The Boat went off to Sea, and after passing the last buoy, the bail out decision was made; to Strong waves..so 1 dive aborted even so.

From those who know me better, mostly in the water, you know that i cannot stand too much time without getting in the water...so... there i was asking the Capt. to make a short dive, some place where it would be safe enough even if the visibil wasn´t that good.
Low tide...so... when we hit the docs, S was kind enough to indulge me and was my buddy on a dive that lasted...15 mins max. Visibil was 1 feet at most, and in some places lower. So that´s not a place you want to be playing around with a rebreather.
Well at least i got wet!
