Just a hello from Brazil. Keep the stories flowing. Seas off my home town as I write this are 10 ft./3m high. :vangry

Ahhhh that's a cake walk. :duh Just stay outside the breakers and you'll be fine. Or just stay under water more than your on the surface and you won't get beat around as much.

But until it clears up I feel your pain. The waves are about the same here and the vis is down to 1-2 feet. So no luck in my neck of the woods either. At least when it clears up down there you have SOME visibility from what I hear. So just think it could be worse. After all near where I live I have never dove in visibility over 5 feet. But then again I have only been diving for 4 years now, so what do I know maybe we have just has a LONG dirty streak. SO maybe someday we will get a charge of clear water up from the south. :hmm
 
Not quite. Surf so high means no spearfishing here. We dive off islands with steep depth gradient (it gets deep close to the island's coastline). Unless one has a death wish (his/her own), better go play billiards and cards.
