Whats wrong with my Logic?
odviously it being a fairly straightforward mechanical issue needing sorting is why Im not seeing trees from forest.
OK so leaks under control. We make a plan o head back to base or nearest port.
base and local Emergency services are notified our location, Course and issue.
next I brief the divers of whats going on then reiterate the emergency procedures on the boat and location of all emergency equipment.
Then I assess what repair facilities we have on board to effect a temporary or permanent repair.
Given skipper is driving the boat and Im the only DM on board then Im best to effect what repair we can if any and monitor the water level.
water level rising then escalate to life jackets on and prepare to leave the boat.

Allright --really REALLY slowly cos clearly Im an eejut.I think you're letting the fact that you're a mechanic get you way too caught up in the details of the coolant hose.
As folks mention often, for PADI the professional courses are not about how good a diver (or mechanic) you are... they are about following the systemic approach. Follow the system and the answer is easy.
