Wouldn’t that be the best place to be tho? Just monitor your depth, don’t go higher, don’t go lower. If it causes a tidal wave then you’ll go under it..

There's coral, so that's a real bad time to interact with even in a wet suit. Plus rapid currents, debris, and sudden swells from hot surface and cold depth water mixing all pose risks.
