Currents get pretty unpredictable(different directions and intensity) around the Alabama Point Jetties, I'd imagine its the same in PCB. Probably better to let the students swim the surface

jviehe:Yes, that cut through. I usually go by depth also, but Im not always at the sand. And with students in tow, itd just be much easier to have some sort of landmark to reference. How about painting a big white line from the sand up to the surface
Ive actually seen instructors take a morring bouy to the sand just in front of the cut, and run a line from the cut down the rocks to it.
how about seeing if the park service will put in a large painted orange or white rock there..... (of course that will/might get covered with algae also). Maybe a sign is a good idea. Low profile to stand up in high currents. You should be able to pile drive it into the sand on a iron post with damaging anything.
Wayward Son:Take 2 bricko blocks & maybe 30 or 40 ft of white nylon rope at least 1 inch diameter. Put 1 block down on the kiddie pool side of the rocks, tie the rope to it. Take the 2dn block, swim straight out & down until you hit the sand. Set down the block, tie off the rope.
