If at depth I guess gas in the valve between the dust cap and the vavle it self will become compressed and make the cap hard to disconnect if you don't push the add button on the vavle before you try to remove the cap?
Exactly. On a dive earlier this year I was going to run thru some procedures to kill time on deco, but could not get the cap off. I thought I was going to rip the valve off. My buddy was watching me, like "WTF?" until I finally asked him to help and he had the same struggle and I got to laugh at him. I didn't think that little friggin' cap could form such a good seal....
