If I took a hot shower it was totally fine until it tightened again.

If you were bent, if anything I’d expect a hot shower to make it worse not better.

Back issues can definitely be exacerbated by the pounding of a rough boat ride, hauling around heavy gear, and less than optimal form during the dives. Like @Rayk was saying, exercises that strengthen the back and core when combined with some yoga stretches that target the hips and lower back will go a long way to stave off back pain.
 
Thanks everyone, this was a couple years ago. Thankfully I have not felt this good in over 15 years. I do stay on top of it and stay in shape. Married to a talented DPT as well. I was just curious and you all have confirmed what I thought. Appreciate it
