short online slide show at Guide to Muck Diving - Sportdiver.com

Muck diving being relative. The print article calls 15 foot visibility "pea-soup". But since the habitat evidently requires being covered in 'industrial-grade volcanic sand' that is easily kicked up, maybe it still counts. It seems to lend a home to a lot of unique critters. And we can practice at home. :)

The article lists the following world class muck diving sites:
Mabul, Malaysia
Anilao, Philippines
Milne Bay, Papua New Guinea
Tulamben and Ambon, Bali
Lembeh Straight, North Sulawesi
 
With the exception of pools I have never in my entire life had that much visibility on a dive.


...I'm taking my 5 dives and going back to Lake Travis.
 
Just goes to show, one man's ***** may be another man's fertilizer.
 
The best part about the Internet is that you don't have to depend on sensors to bleep out the objectionable. You can just program the machine to do it.
