Had a real bad time with a grout bag on a bridge job in Savannah last month
We were doing a concrete patch on the pilings, about 20 feet down. The grout mix was too thick and the bag nozzle kept clogging. My dive partner topside kept adding water, but then it got too runny and just washed away in the current. We wasted three full bags before we got the mix right. How do you guys deal with mixing grout for underwater work when the specs from the engineer just don't seem to work in the real water?

My buddy swears by adding a bit of extra plasticizer to the mix for tricky currents.

Your buddy's extra plasticizer trick is a fast way to ruin the whole batch.
