I know I have been carried back and forth about 25 feet in a couple seconds by the currents on a reef so that not a low flow.

Nice post Steve, I was just waiting for you to chime in. Adaboy!!

What is that suppose to mean, i was giving a opinion on something. CHWKREEFER........


Steve to your post , Thanks for clearing that up i was making a observation on my thoughts and opinion that i have observed being on many different coral reefs when on duty over seas.


OH i guess that an opinion is no good here. So i take that only 2-3 people here know what they are talkin about. I have been all over reef across the world , I was merely stating I didnt feel a huge current in the reefs might be a hugh flow flow,\
