Great thread.
My dirtiest dive was actually salt water.
Helped a friend clean the hull and check the screws and rudders on his charter boat.
All the way in the back of the Port Mansfield harbor with a stiff east wind blowing every-disgusting thing imaginable our direction.
Little worms in my hair and the stench of dead sea life and diesel.
Got slimed.
Almost puked.

Oh boy, I remember those days. I used to work in a local marina on Lake Lavon in North East Texas just outside of Plano. I had to scrub the hulls of certain boats (patrons that paid a premium to have their boats maintained and cleaned), most of which never came out of the water. Lake Lavon is one of the dirtiest lakes around so the build-up was outrageous. The smell was aweful, especialy in the months with no rain and the water was stagnate for a while.
 
My worst was Braille diving back in the early 90's at Glen Rose State park in a bend in the river called The Blue Hole. Had to hold guages up to mask faceplate to see how deep we were.-(only around 21'ft)
 
Ray Hubbard for sure, I reset the tie-up buoys in the harbor at one of the Yacht clubs a few years back. It was definately one of those "feel your way around" jobs.
