I always go to the same spot every week, visibity ranges from 10+ meters on a great day to just 1 meter on a bad day.
To get to this spot we swim from shore for about 1 KM and depth ranges from 20 meters - 2 meters along the way.
This might a be a stupid question to some of you, but I decided to ask it anyway.
Thanks
