Summary
A diver’s umbilical snagged on a conductor-shaft anode at 18 msw after tidal current pushed it towards the structure. Slack allowed in-water decompression to continue while a stand-by diver freed the line. Planned diving time was not exceeded. The flash highlights attention to local environmental conditions and situational awareness.
