Upwellings and rapid ascents
The latest Alert Diver issue from DAN had an "article" on dealing with upwellings and rapid ascents. The problem is the piece was an anecdote on the experience of a couple of divers caught in an upcurrent and the post dive aid one of them received. The lesson is "be prepared".
What the article doesn't talk about at all is how to avoid this in the first place or what to do if you're caught in an upwelling or downcurrent. Years ago a friend was caught in such a situation in the Galapagos and it scared her so much that she hasn't dove since. How can I avoid this situation?
Thanks to all.
