I've never had it happen in the water, nor have I ever heard of it 
happening.

The intent of the burst disk is to 'rupture' before the tank does while 
under increased pressures and/or heat.  So, you would probably have to be 
diving in some HOT water [grin].

For the burst disk to fail in the water... albeit no impossible... I 
believe it to be improbable.  You may develop a leak due to an 
incorrectly installed disk.  Or... after an extreme period of time 
without replacement it may be possible for the disk to rupture.  Again - 
very unlikely.

Do you have a story?

Good diving!
