Warning: a burst hose at 90 feet in Port Arthur taught me to check my bailout before every splash

Wait, 90 feet? That is deep enough that things go really wrong fast when they go wrong. I have done some commercial stuff but nothing that deep and the idea of a hose letting go down there is just wild to me. My uncle worked the Gulf for years and always told me the checks you skip on the surface are the ones that bite you when you're deep, that has stuck with me. Your story really drives that home in a way his ever did. Glad you made it back up to tell it.
