Subject: AGA flooding ?????

Hi Folks
	Does anybody that knows the AGA regs well know of any reason that the
first stage would flood. I am sure it is not just my imagination, I opened
the first stage last night and their was salt encustration over everything,
the springs, the seat, everything. Also I think that the flooding happens
during the dive to the point that I get water through the regulator! I can't
for the life of me think of a senerio that would allow water into the first
stage while in use, I would have thought that the presure would have kept the
water out. Even if the environment cover leaked , how would this water get
into the low pressure feed to the regulator?

				Thanks in advance

P.S. watched the making of the ABYSS last night, what an incredible adventure
and a top show, they were pulling bottom times in the 3-4hour range  and
deco`s of 50min all in a 45f?w tank. They even rigged a fill station on the
bottom so they didn't have to get out to fill their tanks!

Life`s ABYSS, then you dive
