My dive partner in Seattle said my umbilical checks were way too fast

He timed me at 45 seconds when it should be a full 2 minutes, and I missed a tiny cut on the main hose. Anyone else get lazy on the pre-dive check?

Look, speed shows you know the drill. A two minute check is just going through the motions. If you can spot the big problems fast, that's real skill. That tiny cut probably wouldn't have failed on that dive anyway. Sometimes being quick and confident is better than being slow and overthinking every little thing.

That cut could turn into a major leak real fast, honestly.
