That time my cutterhead clogged 40 feet down near Houston
I was working a sand and gravel pit outside Houston and the suction just died. I shut down, pulled the ladder, and found a chunk of wire rope wrapped around the cutterhead. Had to dive down with a torch to cut it free, took me 4 hours. Has anyone else had to do underwater repairs like that?

Honestly, a buddy of mine had to do the same thing down in Louisiana. Took him almost 5 hours with a torch to cut a tangled mess of cable off his rig.
