What would be a good comparison of the affect of a 2 knot current on a scuba diver compared to a wind current on land?

Currents have a disproportionately greater effect when pushing water against a Scuba diver than wind does when pushing air against a person above the surface. This is for two reasons: firstly, water is much more dense; secondly, a diver swimming has less propulsion than a person walking (ie. you can walk faster and with less effort than you can swim).
I am not aware of any scientific formulae comparing the two, but I would compare swimming into a two knot current wearing scuba gear as the rough equivalent to trying to walk into a windspeed of approximately 30 knots.
