I took this video on a dive to Alpha Reef on a day when the swell was supposed to have dropped off… but hadn’t. The swells were so large that the shot line not only walked, but floated out into deeper water. You can see from its motion up and down just how much the surface of the ocean was moving about that day. There’s a small SMB attached to the shot for use on deep dives, where a little extra buoyancy is welcome when pulling it off the bottom. At this dive site, where the maximum depth is less than 15 metres, we didn’t need to inflate it.
