So I have somewhere around 500 dives all over the world..Cozumel, Palau, Bonaire, Florida, California, Thailand & more ...
I am headed to Bali soon and read about something I actually had never really heard of or experienced..Downcurrents. Particularly in the Nusa Penida area for Bali. This literally had me scared about diving there for a moment as I googled, read previous threads and even saw a very scary video from a few years ago of divers in Coz in a downcurrent, fortunately it ended well.
Anyways, what is the deal? Is the best way out generally recognized as coming farther off the wall & adding air to your wing? How do you avoid suddenly being swept from 60ft to 150+?
