That's Cove 2, in West Seattle, one of the more popular training sites. I was there teaching Sunday afternoon as it was calm with a nice high tide with almost zero current.
I would like to think that this is an extreme case (oh please God, let this be the exception, not the rule). From the FB discussion, it was mentioned by the student who took the video that diver had only 8 dives under her belt. We all agree that the dive should have been stopped right away, that they should have descended together as a group.
My guess is that this has gotten back to the instructor (no idea who it is). This isn't going away anytime soon.
