On my recent diving trip in Maldives. Due unfavorable current, dive instructor changed direction and surface about 1km away from our dive boat. Our dive boat was searching for us at where we were supposed to surface. We were lost at sea for about 45 minutes until picked up by another dive boat. After transferred back to our dive boat, went straight back to second dive.

It is important to carry floatation device/marker. Have a safe dive folks.

We had SMB but our boat was 1km away in the wrong direction.
