Has anyone had to use their helium escape valve?
I'm sure most of us have not but curious to see if anyone has used the watch for its intended purpose. As what depth did you have to use the valve? What indication does the watch give you when the helium needs to escape? Hopefully some of you have some exciting stories!

I believe it's only necessary during decompression after saturation diving where helium is one of a mixed-gas environment.

Correct. The He valve does not open under water.
