I was doing negative entry in 3 to 4m swells in Lombok. Yes suck out all the air from the BCD even then I struggled on some negative entry as the surge and foam made life difficult as well as low visibility. Easy to get separated on entry so I would set my compass on my Perdix to where I should find the dive leader, who is an instructor and my dive buddy also an instructor. On some dives I would have liked more weight to get down faster than my normal weight. Fin like mad feel you are not descending lol.
These are dives I did with Wild Scuba Indonesia and as one diver found out, not for the inexperienced. These are also washing machine currents and surges and you do not want to be carried in an updraft to the surface near walls which will make mince meat out of you. I dive tshorts and t shirt get too close to the corals and end your dive like shredded pork lol. Are these dives dangerous? You bet on it and they are wicked fun. Down currents as well than can whip you to 40m plus in no time. You are at 15m depth, if you look up to the surface your first instinct is to get deeper. I got caught in one surge but Jay our leader just watched and waited for me to get out of it which I did. No distress or panic. I clutched onto a large boulder and hid behind it. I will be doing 7 days of these dives later this year.
Go to FB Wild Scuba Indonesia to see some of the video posted there. Some dives are gentle, others, well not so much lol.
Check out 21 22 September video that is me down there and when my bubbles hit the surge you can see them go horizontal. Stay away from the surface.. Watch the whole video. These dives I would class as sports diving not recreational.
