I’ve been diving in "near Hurricane" conditions doing checks on docks, moorings, etc...
The surge is usually pretty BAD. The vis. almost always SUX, currents can get to be really RIPPING, and surface ops are usually down right DANGEROUS.
These are NOT conditions that I would take students or fellow divers out in for recreational diving.
Not to mention, it’s not much FUN...!
But if your heart is set on doing it...
All I can say is GOOD LUCK...!
