Went out for a couple dives on 3/21. Second dive we went to Snapper Ledges. We were the second boat on this site. Splashed in along with my daughter, got to the bottom and tried swimming towards the ledge. We kicked as hard as we could and it was all we could do to stay in one place. We couldnt move anywhere. Couldnt even get to the front of the boat. After kicking in place for a couple minutes we finally thumbed the dive. Most of our group had already gone up. Fortunately they threw out an extra long tag line to grab onto.
I don't think I've ever been in current that strong (other than a planned drift dive).
Kinda sucked driving down to the keys from Orlando and and getting lousy dives, but such is the nature of the sea...
Back in Ohio now and 34 degrees outside, so I guess all things are relative....
