That week in Port Fourchon last summer nearly made me quit

I know most people say diving in the Gulf is steady work, but my week in Port Fourchon last August was the worst I've had. We had a 3 day window of 6 foot seas that turned a simple anode replacement into a constant fight with currents. The boat captain kept pushing us to go in anyway, and after my buddy had a near miss with a clump weight, I told him I was done for the week. Has anyone else had a contractor or client push you past safe limits like that?

Wait, he pushed you guys to go in with 6 foot seas and a clump weight almost hit your buddy? That's insane. I'd have walked too.

Buddy of mine had a skipper like that... ended up losing a finger.
