Dive Site Hazards

Hidden Depth Variations — Complex reef topography can conceal depth changes, leading to unintended profile variations.
Distraction from Marine Activity — High fish activity can distract divers and delay depth or gas awareness.
Rapid Surge Direction Changes — Surge near reef structures can reverse direction quickly, pushing divers sideways into unexpected areas.

Eddy Pull-Off Zones — Eddies behind structures can pull divers away from the main drift line.

Delayed Surface Pickup — Strong current can exceed surface tracking assumptions, delaying boat pickup.

Vertical Current Shear — Currents may vary by depth, causing vertical separation even when divers stay together.
