as a drift dive...
Palau, Blue Corner. The current was so fast that it almost ripped your mask off your face, and it was so strong the sharks even left! We hooked in using our reef hooks and our cheeks were flapping, I have it on video. :shocked2:
and
Paseo de Cedral in Cozumel, several years ago.. all we did the whole dive was dodge coral heads and try not to get hurt. It was blasting! The whole dive was a blur.
as a moored dive...
having to get back to the boat... San Clemente Island, California last year. Current was ripping so bad I had to grab the kelp and hold on, finally ended up using it to pull myself back to anchor line. I was flapping like a flag!
and
one dive at Medio Reef, Bahamas on the Nekton. Current was so strong that it was impossible to do a safety stop. We all held onto the mooring line as long as we could then let go and hoped to catch the hangbar as we blew down under the boat! Wild ride! Current wasn't that strong down next to reef, but once you got up at 15' level, holy guacamole!
