No chance to survive that on the bottom.

Pools have convenient tsunami tie-off spots? Those clever pool salesmen never mention them either. Who knew?

Aren’t there stories of people that were scuba diving in the ocean off the coast when a Tsunami hit and they had no clue it happened?
If so, why wouldn’t you put on that scuba gear and get as far out/deep into the ocean as possible? That’s assuming you’ve got 5 min heads up or something and not 30 seconds

Scariest 3 point turn I've ever seen.

in the open ocean...they slow down near shore

or just take a boat or raft out to sea...and yes if you are off the coast scuba diving you likely wouldn't know a tsunami passed...if you were in a boat you probably wouldn't know either

Scuba would work provided you were in maybe 30 ft of water off shore.
The Indonesian tsunami actually had divers at depth Wehner it hit. They were fine.
If you’re inland it’s not the water but what will hit you that’s the problem. I’m a damned good swimmer but I’m toast if a car or other heavy debris pins me.

Yeah. They said they got tossed around offshore. But not bad enough to cause injury

Because no matter how much heads up you have, be it 15 seconds or 30 minutes, are are better served trying to get to higher ground. The extra time used to go further into the ocean could have also been used to go further inland, often times further due to water movement being slower.
If you had a powered boat ready to go that you were already on, there might be something to be said to head straight out. M
That’s a more interesting discussion than the damn scuba dive one.

Yes, I would hold onto a telephone pole the entire time.

Better to hop on a helicopter and fly to safety.
