He forgot to clip the console and it was just hanging when he stepped off. So on the why down he is jerked around backwards when the HP goes tight and then rips loose. There was a very impressive amount of bubbles in the water. Needless to say we called the dive and swam around to the stern of the boat and climbed out. His tank was down only a few hundred PSI. We were able to find a spare hose some place
