I heard in Goa that a rip is 15-50 meters wide ang getting caught you should swim? paralell to the shore. Is that "easy"?

read about them in my geology book which was also nice enough to tell? me how to get out of one and how to spot them. : ) Just another reason why I really don't like the ocean.

I almost drowned in a rip current. I wish I was made aware of what to do before it was too late. I got swept about half a mile on a almost deserted beach in Thailand. While battling exhaustion I started to succumb to the power of the ocean. A wave crashed behind me and then I began choking on the saltwater. I knew I wasn't going to make it back. Incredibly, a bodyboarder must have? heard me and came to my aid. After he got us back I was too shaken to thank him properly. I was seconds from death.

Omaarlovemusic I love how this guy's on the fucking *internet*, where information on *any* subject is readily available to curious people. Yet, they're still goddamned lazy enough to request people to answer? their near-essay length questions. All they have to do is take a very small amount of initiative and check out the info that is *already* out there. Wikipedia may not be completely accurate, but fuck, it beats demanding a stranger to be your own personal oceanographer. Get bent, fella.

Thumbs? up.

We'd love to do that. When we investigated this a while back we were told the airlines thought we'd turn away tourists if we showed them the dangers on our beaches. It makes much sense to us to? prepare tourists.

Show a five minute clip about rips, including breathing techniques on how to stay calm on every plane arriving to every coastal city in Australia. I'm sure anyone? motivated enough (ie: anyone else but me) to push this idea to the Australian government, backed by UNSW would get this job done. Thanks Doc Rip very informative :)

I am sooooo sorry to hear about your dad and brother :( Please accept my condolences. Yes, rip currents can be deadly... I was stuck in one, and - not knowing to swim sideways - was trying to beat it,? and quickly got totally exhausted.... Luckily, a friend of mine (followed by a rescuer) swam to me just in time.
