One more point.

If you end up having to swim in current be aware of CO2 buildup. If you are on the surface grab the line and catch your breath before descending. If the surface is too choppy or you get seasick descend 10 - 15 feet (below the swell) on the anchor line and rest for a few seconds. If below the surface grab the line or some other stationary object, stop, relax and make sure your breathing is under control before descending further.
