I hear ya brother. I 've got the same problem here in Missouri. Usually you can see your hand in front of your face if you don't go past the six inch mark. There are a few quarries near here (within 100mi) that I need to try though. I hear talk of 20' viz. That's something I've never expierenced before.Originally posted by fjohnson
guys and gals... I sometimes wonder if it's fair.. around here (lake diving in Minnesota, north central u.s.) generally 6' (2m) vis is the norm, and less than 1'(<30 cm) vis is not unusual. The water can get dark shallow. I don't know how many times I've stuck my face in the muck at the bottom... 'course, even the worst can clear up for awhile after the ice is come and gone.. but hey, we have lots of friendly fish and in the shallows lots of weeds too.
There is a place or two within 150miles (250km) where 30' (<10m) vis is possible.
