drift diving

a type of scuba diving where the diver is moved around by currents, allowing the water's flow to carry the diver along

Drift diving is a type of scuba diving where divers allow themselves to be carried along by the current while exploring underwater. Instead of swimming against the current, divers use the flow of water to move, making it easier to cover large areas with minimal effort. Drift diving is often done in locations with strong currents, like rivers, ocean reefs, or channels, and can offer the opportunity to see marine life and natural features without exerting much energy. However, it requires good buoyancy control and the ability to stay close to the dive group while being carried by the current.
