Three of us went for a short shallow "fun" dive just of the beach - it involved swimming out approximately 500m past the rocks that protected the bay. To make a long story short - we got trapped in a freak current and washed some 4-5km up the coast. When we got out of the current we had to swim about a kilometer back to the beach. I, thinking that it was going to be a quick in and out, opted for one of the slimmer 300bar 7litre tanks and used it without any form of bouancy compensator. If I was not top fit that bit of foolishness would have cost me my life.

Diving always have to be approached with the necessary caution and respect for the environment that you are about to enter.
