If your floatie is slowly deflating then you probably punctured it. This guide will help you repair the punctured area and get you back in the water.

Before using this guide, check the valve stem to insure it is securely closed and not the cause of the inflating. If it is not the case then proceed with this guide.

Step 4 requires you to use scissors so please be cautious when cutting the waterproof tape.
