How can this happen?

Thank you. I already got a free hose replacement from the shop. I was just wondering what to do with this one.

In theory it can have a new hose end installed. In practice, it's not worth the time, effort or $$.

That failure is actually quite shocking and inexcusable. If it had been just a liiiittle bit stronger that could have occurred during a dive with potentially disastrous results.

As a fairly reputable (and not cheap) manufacturer I would expect them to be all over this one.

Can you post some more close-up pictures from different angles? Interested to see if there are obvious machining defects or voids in a casting.
