I dont know about you but my dive computer thinks I am going 900 miles per hour sometimes. I lift it up 1 foot and it is going off as if I was propelled out of water by a torpedo or something.

In low current conditions it is far easier to keep an eye on bubbles. Where I dive bubbles never go up same speed as they would in still water conditions. Took me a lot of time to figure out until one day I was editing my own scuba videos and saw bubbles left by other divers take a diagonal from 60ft deep to 15 feet deep. Divers would be in one place hanging out and their bubbles would stretch out as if they were swimming away and I was too with the current. Maybe it is water tension or other force of nature but at Boynton Beach bubbles do not surface same way they do in Florida Keys.
