That job in the Mobile River last Tuesday was a total mess from the start.

The viz was maybe six inches, and my umbilical got tangled in a sunken log pile on my first descent. Spent over an hour just getting myself free, and the whole time the current was pushing me into the muck. My dive partner topside said all he could hear was heavy breathing and cursing. Anyone else have a day where the water just felt like it was fighting you personally?

Sounds like a rough dive but that's just a Tuesday on the Mobile. You got tangled, you got free, you're fine. The river fights everyone, it's not personal. Maybe check your gear setup or your descent plan next time. A bad day in the water beats a good day in an office.

My buddy lost a fin in that same current last month.

Sounds dramatic but you got out fine, right? Bad dives happen to everyone.
