I really agree. You really kept it together and helped her out. I know she was mad after, but I hope later she appreciates how much better you handled that than many people would. Once in awhile things get real, that's when you find out what people are made of.

Glad you guys came out safely and no one got hurt. I was born and raised diving in these areas. Few of my cousins drowned near here. We would go there even on some of the nicest days and the current would yank. When would yank we would head down to pepe chute kaalualu bay and come in. Might seem far but no need fight current. Come in the bay safely. Saved a few people out there. Dive safe . Aloha ke akua.

Glad u guys made um out safe 🙏🏾🙏🏾. I jus had my worst diving incident last month. Worst thing was my gut feeling said don’t go out. Me being hard head nah can we go. Frkn paddling out timing the waves frkn set came when the wave breaks here u don’t want to be there n i was there took it on the head washing machine can’t see 4 more waves after that. I literally had to eject my weight belt to make it to the surface. Couldn’t move was jus swirling same spot. I jus kept calm no fight um jus go with the flow. Finally made um back in to shore dat was da best feeling in my life to reach da sand mahalo ke akua laid there for half hour 🤣🤣. 🤙🏾🤙🏾

so just a precaution when in heavy current/waves, please unload your bands before advancing back to shore. glad you guys made it out and back to shore. there are places like this where the waves and current are scary but when you make it out it's way more calm than the inside. sometimes planning your dive before your hunt is important and will help with certain fear triggers/factors. like when I was diving with some of the locals in Molokai we would hop into a shallow bay that was rocky and wavy up front and wants we pass the drop off the current just shoots you out into some deep water before taking you back into a bay miles from starting point but once there the spot is chill. idk who taught them that but I use that method In certain places in Oahu, but the walk back is the worst part unless you have some one pick you up. I'm pretty sure you know quite a bit about diving and it's always great to get a reminder of the basics of oceanic hunting. you did an awesome job staying calm in uncharted grounds, take your dives one step ahead by observing the currents and accept that there will be a drift factor going out or even coming in. stay safe bradah, keep calm and swim on cheee🤙🏾

She’s right though. Reality, you told her that it was a good condition to dive and she trusted you. I’m guessing you are more experienced diver in the group, which means, you have her life in your hands, but vice versa you need to trust her that she can save you. That’s how buddy system works. Sometimes beginners don’t know enough but to trust that it’s okay to go out with their skill level. I surf but if my kid or wife wanted to surf in dangerous conditions, I would know not to take them out in those kind of days and say “no”. It’s a learning curve “yes” but free diving, you may only get couple of mistakes until something bad happens. You need to embrace that your girl can still be mad at you today. For now, maybe dive area suited for her skill level until she skill up to your level. Reading waves and current is hard but needed. Just glad you’re both alright. Thanks for sharing.
