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....

Forgive me for my lack of knowledge regarding Megs. Please consider these questions.

So if the diver drive the Meg from the inboard diluent this sitech valve isn't used?

If you need more diluent, then you plug in the off board gas into the sitech vale?

Is it a common practice to leave this cap on the sitech valve?

Would it possible to get the cap off at 100 meters depth?

Thank you,
Richard Lundgren
