Do u have any idea of where about in the dam this happened?

Under current in a dam strong enough to keep a man down? WOW!

 

[Joe Henkins]

Can't see how a dam has a under water current? If there was a underwater current wouldn't the water be crystal clear? And if the water had been crystal clear would you not be able to see from standing ontop of a boat that stuff underwater is being tossed around by current?

This does sound a bit odd although if you were by the river section it could happen.

i am with ryan, Maybe he got cramp or even hit his head on something

I think the sluice gates where opened for the Dusi. That would create a current.
