Finally got my lift bag patched after 3 tries
Had a tiny pinhole leak in my 50lb lift bag from a wreck dive off San Diego last month. Took me two whole weekends to find it because it only showed underwater, not on the bench. Anyone else spend way too long hunting a simple air leak?

yeah pro tip if you havent tried it yet, dunk it in a tub of water with a little bit of dish soap mixed in and pressurize it. the bubbles will show up way easier than listening or feeling for it. saved me hours of headache on my last bag.

Ngl I always thought that soapy water trick was just for tires or something. Tbh I've been doing the whole listen and feel method like a caveman and wasting so much time. Just tried it on a stubborn leak I had and found it in like 2 minutes flat. Kinda mad at myself for not trying it sooner honestly.

Drove myself crazy doing that same thing on a set of double tanks once. Soapy water trick works for some stuff but I've had it miss tiny holes that only show up when you really crank the pressure up underwater. Your mileage may vary but sometimes you just gotta accept the weird hidden leaks exist.
