Joel,
The current may have been only in the top 100' of water and / or
the anchor line may have been running parallel not perpendicular
to the wreck on that particular dive. Currents do tend to change from
dive to dive and often may be much stronger on the surface and
non-existent on the wreck. My guess is he dropped off the line
moments after his buddies turned away from him and went on their
dive.
