Hello.
I'm a noob. Certified early last summer & have logged just over 30 dives. My dives have all been fresh water lakes. No salt, until this coming May.
May 9th, I have booked 2 dives with Stuart Coves, along with my dive buddy, who was certified with me & has been my buddy on every lake dive to date.
I've read these forums ALOT & know how the water & currents affect Cozumel. Seems like we hear & read mostly about that area.
So, my question is, how does Nassau currents, downdrafts, etc. compare to those I've read about in Cozumel?
What do I need to expect?
Can I expect to be "sucked" down in a downdraft?
I haven't dove in current before, so I'm just not sure what to expect in the Bahamas (Nassau).
Thanks for any help & advice you can give.
I'd appreciate hearing from people who have dove this area.
