Newly certified. To date I have done shore dives and drift dives. Drift dives boat finds you and shore dives it easy to find the shore might not be the exact spot you entered but can find land. This weekend we did a boat dive where boat stays. The plan was go out against the current turn and come back with the current. Fair enough I understand headings and can use a compass but how do know how far back is the boat. Current was not extreme but certainly was decent. I overshot the boat about 300 yards after surfacing and looking around for it. The we had to go against the current back to it.
Is it just experience or are there some tricks? It can't be swim out 25 minutes then back 25 minutes given going with and against the current.
Always looking to learn.
