I registered to this site a couple of days ago... And I just have to say that it´s great to have a site like this. So Thanks.
I´m from Finland and I have been diving in these zero-visibility waters actively for a few years. I hope we can all share our dive-experiences from around the world.
See you guys

Hello Norrppa,
It's nice to hear from you, and also nice to meet someone else who also dives in less than crystal clear waters.
I would love to dive in Finland in the Winter, I hear it is fabulous in the lakes.

Well, what is the usual visibility in the Netherlands? I went diving in the sea yesterday and the vis was good, about 5-7 meters. Usually it´s about 3-5 m, but one must dive in 0-visibility quite often. I actually like it 
We do have some quarries where the vis can be up to 10 m. Yeah, the lakes are nice but I still prefere the sea. Do you guys have wrecks in the Netherlands?

The Visibility here varies quite greatly, for example we dived on Wednesday night in a lake called Het Twiske. You couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
However other times in Vinkeveen vis has been between 2-6 Metres and in Zeeland also around 6 Metres.
The diving here varies greatly, there is a fair amount of lake diving, as the only easily accesible dive sites in the sea are in Zeeland (which is about 1.5Hours away) and then you can only dive during the change of the tide.
The diving in Zeeland is wonderful though, if you are lucky enough around Easter you see cuttle fish breeding, and because they are otherwise occupied, you can get remarkably close.
With regards to wrecks, there are a lot in the North sea, however I have not dived any in the North Sea yet as they have a minimum requirement of Rescue Diver certification. But I am nearly there, so here we come.
FYI: The dive boat for the north sea dives is Fogo Isle :

They list all of the wrecks on their web page.
