Pro tip: started draining my umbilical before every dive and my hose crimps stopped failing
I used to roll up my umbilical wet and figure the water would just work its way out on the ride home. After two crimp failures in one month on a job in Galveston, a guy who's been diving 22 years told me to hang the whole run and let it drain for at least 30 minutes before I coil it. The difference over the last three months has been real, no more green crust inside the fittings and my continuity checks come back clean every time. It sounds dumb and slow when you just want to get off the boat, but the fittings last way longer. Anyone else hang their hose or do you just coil and deal with it?
