Both times I dove it the water was absoutely flat for about 15 minutes, the last dive lasted 16 minutes and I had to be picked up in the middle of 20' swells that were fast becoming 30' with a current that was trying to rip my tanks and flippers off.
You're lucky to be alive. That is a seriously under appreciated waterway. Many ships have completely disappeared there with nothing ever found from them. Stay outta there, lol.
BTW, you have to have special Coast Guard certification to 'sail' commercial vessels through there.
