Hey guys, long time lurker but first time poster. I've been diving since I was 13, all over Florida, the Caribbean, and even Asia. I just picked up spearfishing, and I'm already hooked, even though I haven't taken anything home yet! :cussing:
Recently ( <2 yrs) I've been shore diving off of the treasure coast, which stretches from Sebastian to Vero Beach. I like this diving because it is closer to me, and its free! What I've found is some days the vis is decent, and some days its absolute crap. Like where you are just crawling around on the bottom, hoping that maybe there are some bugs, but you can't see more than 3 feet.
I try calling the local shops, but nobody seems to know what the vis is. I looked but I can't seem to find any kind of "vis report".
1) Is there a "vis report" for this area?
2) What can I do to help predict the vis?
Thanks in advance for the replies. Bug season is almost over, so I'm planning on hitting up some spots this weekend, visibility permitting. I'll see you out there!
