The right HP hose had burst and I had to replace it quickly; the o-ring of the pressure gauge swivel is gone too. They were the remains of a still unidentified wreck, only the seat wall was still standing. Just before it we saw a big moray, later on the side we saw two together. There was a fair amount of current. Team note: "do not forget the skeleton with the feeding fish!"
