It is useful to remind divers that in the presence of a current it is advisable to make the journey against the current (unless otherwise agreed with the diving), possibly helping with the hands in advancing, pulling along the rocks or sinking them in the sand.
When returning, it is important to find the anchor to make the safety stop attached to the cable and to emerge next to the boat. If the anchor is not found and a stop must be made in the blue, it is advisable to send a signal (inflatable buoy) to the surface, in order to be clearly visible from the boat that is to carry out the recovery.
Attention finally if it re-emerges in front of or next to the boat, but far from it: in these cases it is in fact wrong to fin directly to the point where you want to reach because the displacement imposed by the current could make you miss the target; a finning perpendicular to the current towards an imaginary point located in the bow of the boat should instead allow you to reach the safety cable and then drag along it aspart of Ocoee River Rafting
If the boat is not anchored, only one group must go into the water at a time; the boat will follow the bubbles. In case of sensitive to tidal differences (oceans, Channel, North Sea, etc.) the time of the dive must be defined according to the time of the tide.
Other criteria that influence the dive time include visibility: best when the sun is high, the currents and the wind: generally weaker in the early morning and the need or desire to do two or more dives in a day. In this case: the deeper dive must always be programmed as before the longest possible surface interval between successive dives.
Surface traffic
Unfortunately too many pilots ignore the signals of divers (buoy, flag) and pass over the divers in immersion underestimating the risk they entail. Therefore areas that are excessively frequented by boats should be avoided. However it is sometimes difficult to find a little navigated area.
It is therefore necessary to remind divers to stay very close to their boat, possibly recommending to those who remain on board to clearly report to other boats the presence of divers or Ocoee River Rafting. Also depending on this analysis and the abilities of the divers, it is decided whether the place is suitable for diving or not. The anchor (for those who do not rely on a diving). As a general rule, when you have to submerge divers during the first dives, it is always better to anchor.
