This was a total fail of a dive. The conditions were very rough. Raining and at least 5-7 ft. swells. By the time we got anchored to the dive site we were sick from fumes. It took the boat ~1 hour to anchor in. There were so many people on the boat that by the time we went to get in the water the current went from calm to extreme. We splashed and proceeded down the line with our deco AL80. Jason could not clip it and fought the current for at least 15 minutes. I tried to help but was waving like a flag in the wind. Both exhausted we aborted our dive and headed back to the boat. It was a pity because the viz was the best I had seen at this site. There were two emergencies due to exhausted divers that caused us to be boarded by the Coast Guard and escorted back for inspection. This was an expensive fail of a trip...
