Discussion Wanting to ctb asap but surface valve stuck on Neptune iii

[Nocturna666]

So just when it seemed everything was ready to ctb (using scuba) I go to play around with the surface valve on the Neptune three which is already pre installed and found it to be stuck. I managed to twist it to open so it does work but is VERY difficult and not moving whatsoever. It has to be turned back off so the valve can shut meaning the supply of nitrogen is what is inhaled and not surface air. Here is a pic.

A larger mask was required to make it pliable for use so this time I purchased the Neptune three basic. the other was Neptune three another version of the same model and it has the same issue! If anyone can please help with this I would greatly appreciate it. I'm at a complete loss.

What's that

What's that

The surface air valve that lets you breath in ambient air when the mask is not in water. If you turn it off even on land you won't be able to breath without it being hooked up the tank and it will completely make you feel as if your suffocating.
