The dive conditions were very nice when I first arrived. However the air tank I was given had not been filled. I lost 30 minutes to return to the dive shop. When I returned the surf and gotten worse but away from shore it did not seem so bad, As the dive went on however the surf and surge became stronger and stronger. I abandoned the dive.
