Hi Shaggie,
ok i will be here in the shop.
Visibility changes here on a almost hourly base between 20 to 40 feet.
We are located on the entrance of the Gulf of Nicoya and we dive at very steep volcanic rocks
so the currents and tides can bring up plancton and microscopic algaes and provocate a "poor" visibility.
The good thing of this effect is that the fishes have tons of food and so they grow and grow and grow....
Water temp above the termocline is about 80-82, below it is around 70.
Diving with a 3mm jumpsuit is perfect, using a shortie instead can sometimes be a bit "fresh".
I did in january a dive with a friend, both using as usual a shortie but the water temp strangly droped to below termocline temp
-actually there was no termocline- and so this 2 dives turned to be my "coldest" -but very nice onces- i ever did ...
I guess that the strange rattle we heard while diving where our teeths
See you soon
Chris
