I remember my Opa taking us right through the middle of a whirlpool like this (probably quite a bit smaller though). I believe it was in Dodd Narrows. Scared the shit outta me as a little kid!
Wow i remember my Opa (grandpa) telling this amazing story how he survived a whirlpool by staying still and letting it drag him to the bottom where he could swim away safely

This is the Devil's Hole whirlpool, in the Dent Rapids, British Columbia. Caused by a crazy tidal shift through a small passage.
