dale C--hey look I'm just some twit who has logged less than 50 dives so I don't claim to be an expert.
At a number of feet (90 named for convenience) there is a thermocline.I can't explain why or how but there is a distinct and clear line where vis is actually as you picture above the line and honestly it looks like the bottom of the lake below the line.Dip a fin below that line and theres like an explosion of thick silt to look at but its still very "wet". If you keep finning like that your buddy is in darkness even if they are a couple of feet above you. The more you move the more it muddies up and the higher and wider it spreads. I apologise if I'm not explaining it well
