I have called a few dives. If I start getting uncomfortable and taking a second to calm myself to figure out why I am uncomfortable doesnt work, hard thumb is going up.
I called a dive Saturday on the Spiegel grove. It's been a bucket list wreck for me, I drove all the way from NC on a long weekend to get my shot at it. Things started out ok, 3' sea and 15mph wind. Current was pretty rough but being from NC I am use to current at the surface and was hoping it would drop to nothing on the wreck.
We finally make it down to the wreck and it was just an even worse current, so badly that your only real option was to pull yourself along the wreck, no spot was safe from the current.
25 minutes into our 70 minute dive I threw the thumb up. Current was beating us up, i wasn't happy with how my deco bottles where sitting, i felt pretty foot floaty (probably due to the new thick wool socks I wore) and I could tell my buddy wasn't having a good time. He had already called the penetration plan that morning. So it came the thumb.
Today there was absolutely no current in the Spiegel. I got stuck on the reef boat. Sometimes you win, sometimes you loose.
