Actually, it's surprising the captain got wounded, and not the person running the simulation.
Let's suppose holodeck is real... Inside of the holodeck, the density of the created atoms is very dense, since it's supposed to simulate the pressure and density in deep sea.
Now, as soon as the breach forms, the water will stream out very fast. But only inside of the holodeck, since as soon as it streams out, it dissapears. Compare to the doctor sticking out his hand in one of the Voyager episodes. So basically, the bed of the captain will be "floating" on the fountain for a while. After the pressure has dropped to that of a normal pool of 15 feet depth or so, no water will stream out anymore, and the captain's bed will sink, with the captain, who swallows some water, has to be treated for it, has some broken bones probably, but is otherwise fine.
However, the person swimming around in this deep sea thing, is "dragged out" with the water, SMASHED into the captain's bed, or the ceiling, or any "broken" parts of the floor/ceiling. It gets worse: since the pressure drops incredibly fast (as the water doesn't need to stream out, it dissapears, so the dropping of pressure should go within a second or so), anyway since the pressure drops so fast, the person's suit explodes, injures the person, kills probably. If there was no suit, the person dies because all the carbon di oxide becomes gasious again, and the person dies of an extreme form of diver's disease. His blood boils basically, he explodes from the inside, because gas takes up much more volume than carbondioxide in its liquid form. So he explodes, every little blood vessel, every cell in the person's body explodes. It's a very unpleasant death.
Just thought I'd theorize a bit.
