Drift diving

Encyclopedia : D : DR : DRI : Drift diving

Drift diving is a type of recreational diving where the diver is transported by the currents caused by the tide or in a river.

The current gives the diver the impression of flying and allows the diver to cover long distances underwater, possibly seeing more habitats and formations than usual.

Normal precautions for drift diving are to have a supporting boat follow the divers and to use a surface marker buoy.
