Hi Darrick,

Not at all a silly question, pal. You do realise, of course, that the He valve on the SD is automatic. Which means it will automatically release the excess Helium gas which has built up inside the watch during a very deep saturation dive.

Some OMEGAs have a manual release He valve located at 10 o'clock. This one has to be manually unscrewed to release the gas.
