Hello. I am travelling to the Maldives for a few dives. One of the locations we want to go is prone to strong currents horizontally and vertically. Rarely but it happens. Nothing that really bothers me. I can handle it. However, I will dive with my wife as a buddy and even though she is Advanced with 50+ dives, she is not as experienced as me. She is a good rec diver and probably more comfortable than me in the water (she is a natural) but I am not sure that she would do the right thing with a down, up or rip current. She does not like strong surges while I love it. She can get seasick under water while I am immune. Some advanced diver would not cope with that anyway. I might be overly cautious but… So, my question is: would a tether be a good thing so that no matter what happens, we don’t get separated and I can assist? There is 90% chances that the dive will be eventless but you never know and she 100% want to do the dive so she is not stressed. What is the best course of action? Saying call the dive would get you a 0 .
