Diver's Notes

Major Drift Dive! Lives up to it's name.
You literally get shot off by the current once you swim into it from the side.

The current sweeps you over a 4 meter wall, which will make your dive computer scream its ascent alarms. In my case it meant an additional minute penalty on safety stop as per dive computer indications.

The end of the dive is quite relaxing. Lovely coral, and a chance to see large pelagics. For this it's worth bringing a wide angle camera. Otherwise, just enjoy the ride!

If you don't follow the plan and swim north, across the current, you'll quickly get swooped away, which happened to one of the divers. He used his safety sausage and got picked up without any problems though.
