I dove off of that boat once... total trainwreck... too many divers, bad dive master, total zoo. I never have since... (I mostly dive off of my own boat).
The hyperbole in the beginning of the article was hilarious though...
"It’s a terrifying thought that probably crosses the mind of every deep-sea diver – to resurface after a dive, only to discover that the boat that dropped you off is gone. And that predators in the waters are preparing to pounce. And the currents are swift and strong. And night is rapidly approaching."
LMAO!! Seriously? They make it sound like these guys were 20 miles offshore, instead of a mile offshore, in a current that will simply sweep you north along the coast, (rather than away from shore), and tons of boat traffic.
Myself and a buddy were once separated from my buddies boat by a strong current off of Miami. I just inflated my "safety sausage" and waited... My biggest fear was of getting run down by some idiot, there are so many boats out there. Took us about an hour to get picked up
