Had a near miss with a lift bag in Puget Sound last month

I was working a pier repair job in Everett when my lift bag started venting at 60 feet. Turns out I had a tiny tear from a sharp barnacle I didn't check. Has anyone else had issues with lift bags getting damaged from unseen debris?

Haven't you had barnacles slice through a bag on a low-vis day? It happened to me near Tacoma.

The exact same thing happened to me off Orcas Island. Low vis and you don't see the razor stuff until it's too late. A tiny slice in my dry bag let water in and ruined my lunch. Barnacles are no joke. That sneaky little tear is the worst kind of damage.

Barnacles wrecked my bag off Anacortes last fall. Same sneaky tiny tear.
