Here in Denmark I have only about 10m of depth, and the viz is about 5-10m

But in Norway at our house we have 50m of depth right outside our house. At surface 5-10m viz and at 10m depth (usually) there is a spring layer from warm to cold water, where the viz jumps to 30m or 100feet.

Also 2 minuttes in a boat and you could have a depth of 500m, and there are lots of cliff sides going straight down to about 70m. I like Norway :o
 
I dive in the Pacific Ocean off of Vancouver Island. The visibility isn't great (~2-10m) in the summer; however during the winter it can clear up to around 15m. Recently I went SCUBA diving off of a breakwater where the visibility at 20m deep was ~10m. The water temperature is fairly cold, but warm enough that I can dive comfortably in a 7mm wetsuit.
