Currents kept knocking me off balance during hull inspections

Talked to a few other divers and we all had the same trouble. I started placing my lead weights lower on my harness and it fixed it.

Yeah, that current can really push you around. Moving the weight lower was a game changer for me too, it just keeps you planted. I also found keeping my arms tight to my sides and my legs straight made a big difference. It's all about not giving the water anything to grab onto.

Try the weight trick, it really helps. Also, keep your body flat and streamline yourself against the current.

Actually argued against weights for YEARS, but streamlining flat like that works SO much better.

Guess the hull was just too attractive.
