Haa.....I've been there...absolutely no way to go through heavy surf (waves) with an inflated BC and full gear. Deflate, go to the bottom and swim past turbulant water until you get to calm water. Then ...rise to the surface, get your bearings and finish your dive.

Just one question....you mention getting rid of the weights....what are you gonna do when you get past the waves and want to descend?

Returning from the dive will be tomorrow's lesson. Haaa....HD.
