Very Strong Surface Current.
No wetsuit.
Not much special about this dive. Saw plenty of Amberjack etc... Saw an metal sculpture of a dog placed on site by another diver, also so a Buddha statue placed by a diver. Still an enjoyable dive considering the rough conditions.
This was my first dive of the day, but the trips' second dive of the day. The previous dive (Liberty Ship?) that I had to skip was due to the loss of a fin due to it being either loose, or the extreme current. Dove to about 21 feet to try to retrieve it but couldn't keep up with it, abandoned the dive. Surface and due to surface current was quite a bit behind my dive boat with no hope of swimming back to it. Inflated BC, got high in the water, inflated SMB and waited a short period for retrieval. Upon getting back up on the boat actually got sea sick, tossed my breakfast and then was fine. As all the divers were coming back up onto the boat at the end of dive #1 someone had found my fin and brought it back thankfully.
