Yeah, the captain warned us about the currents, but I got disoriented when I kicked away from the back wall. The swell on the backside was huge that day, so they said to kick away from the wall. Well, we started moving away when we were about 120 feet down, and the gradual ascent we made, the angle of our assent and the current pushed us farther out than I anticipated. As for the sharks, they were mostly gray tipped reef sharks and they hung out on or near the wall, so we didn't see any on the surface. Now humpback whales, that's another story. One breached about 100 yards away from us, and the whale song was so loud it kind of hurt.
