First time this year I was diving off the west coast of UAE with Ken Atkinson (ProDive, Dubai).
Conditions were good, and the plan was for two wrecks, Zainab and SMB.
Visibility was pretty good on the Zainab, I last dived this wreck in 2004 and I recall 2-3M viz on that dive as it was part of my Nitrox course. No issues today though
SMB on the other hand had 2-3M of viz, really appalling.
Water temperatures were 32C (89.6F), two guys on the boat were wearing drysuits while I was in a skin. Air temps on the water were 38C and back onshore 41C
