I ended up past the third dock to the east on the north side of Wallace. The boat never saw my marker. The home owner was kind enough to come out and offer to get in his boat and go fetch the dive boat -- which he did.

In that case, they encountred some kind of a swirling current that threw them around and separated them a bit in depth. That ended quickly, though. They made eye contact with each other, and the husband figured all was well. He took his eyes off of her to tend to somethings, looked back, and she was gone.
I think fisherdvm is a divemaster candidate that is practicing his skills on SB.
Take a few trips out to places like the Socorros or the Texas Flower Gardens and you'll grow up real fast!
Would that be flower power? I'm sorry. I just had to ...
How long ago was that, Trace? Great story!By the way, Larry and I found the can a day after the CCG misdropped it. Tom Scott actually witnessed it go plunk. We were on Tom's boat with Ryan at the helm. I normally use 21/35 on the dive, but that day I was using 21/19 leftovers. We ran into the chain. I was thinking, "Geez! I must be narced. I never saw a chain here before." My END was about 130 feet on that mix at the bottom. We followed the chain. Lo and behold a new green channel marker! Ryan called Tom to tell him we had found the buoy and he said we must have found the marker that was lost the previous day.
As a regular diver in the St Lawrence, I can say that the river doesn't just flow in one direction. Water, like wind, changes flow with the topography. There are sites I dive regularly where you can easily go from strong current to slack, where you can experience up and down currents, back currents, dead spots, eddies... Changing your depth changes the current you are in. Moving out from a wall changes the current.Rivers flow in 1 direction. There is only one vector. Not 3.
