Hey Tibby,
Sounds to me like a bit of water froze prior to the dive preventing the QC4 from amking a good seal. It would have probably thawed when you hit the water had it not leaked before hand. I doubt the problem would have started once you began the dive.
Hi Dave,
Happy New Year!
I know the fitting was bone-dry because the head sat in my basement where I did my predive and from there into the covered truck bed. Also there's no humidity in the air this time of year (maybe 20% or less). I'm almost sure it's because the o-ring got too rigid to seal which also explains why the leak got worse as I was moving the hose iside the fitting.
