Got tangled in a sling line off Port Fourchon last Tuesday...
Last Tuesday I was doing a routine inspection on a platform leg near Port Fourchon, nothing crazy, just checking for marine growth and corrosion. I had my sling line set up perfect, but then a supply boat came through and kicked up the current... my line wrapped right around a loose cable from a previous job. Took me 20 minutes to get untangled, all while my air was running low because I was down at 80 feet. The visibility went to crap too, maybe 2 feet max, so I couldn't even see what I was doing. My tender was yelling at me on the comms but I couldn't hear half of it over the bubbles. Has anyone else run into abandoned cables or loose gear left on a job site? How do you deal with it?
