Something similar happened to me the dive boat was on a mooring line that broke. When we came to the surface the boat was gone. Turns out they tied up to another mooring line nearby. It was a little ruff out so we could not see real good but we could hear the music and found the boat's new location very quick. You just never know what is going on up there while you are diver down.
