Sit tight or run

A friend of mine and her daughter are on a Diving course in Thailand.

Anyway they were under water today, when the Tsunami alarm was raised.

So would it be safer to get out of the water and run for it or dive down and sit on the bottom till it passes over head.:confused2:

This one needs a physics teacher. :confused2:

IMHO, they should stay in the bottom but it also depends upon the duration of the wave, whether they'll be deep enough to avoid it and their ability to stay together.

They are lucky, this one was not bad.
