What's wrong with Split Fins??

had to catch up in the current, it was no fun, but I finally caught them.

So, you swam with the current?

When you over shoot the boat, or like I did in Cancun, I got separated from the group on the descent in current as I couldn't equalize as fast, had to catch up in the current, it was no fun, but I finally caught them. The funny thing, my AOW instructor didn't even know I was missing :11:

You should have shot your safety sausage, and had the boat pick you up.

Another time, in Cancun we tried to drop on a wreck and the DM/Capt. missed the drop spot, we had to surface, I kicked like a mother on the surface to catch the trailing rope, It was about 6" away from my reach and the rope was sinking, just couldn't reach it.
So they left me to go pick up some other divers. I floated in the current until they came back to get me 10 minutes later, great AOW course. It was a little disconcerting to watch the boat get farther and farther away, but I did get to use my SMB.

At least they picked you up... otherwise, you may have had to hitch a ride on a blue whale

Perhaps that was no accident

into the current, they dropped more straight down, I dropped slow and so at more of an angle, backwords.

the instructor called in sick the next day and the shop gave me a Polo shirt.

Called in sick, or forced psychiatric leave?

Captain Jack Sparrow, I presume?
