Additional comments:
She was seen during the entire dive around the pinnacle swimming around multiple times. There was quite a strong current and we were at around 28-30m depth. One of the divers did try to approach her to attempt to cut off the rope on her fin but the knife was very small and she didn't like the rope being touched as (we assume) her scars are fresh with the rope still digging into her fin.
