Old timer on a barge off Louisiana taught me more in 10 minutes than 2 years of school

I was working a pipeline repair job near Grand Isle back in 2017 and this guy named Roy grabbed my arm before a dive. He said "stop thinking about the job and start feeling the current with your hands, it'll tell you where to go." Anyone else have a random mentor moment like that from a crusty old diver?

Roy's shortcut is something they'll never put in a manual.
