Prayers for all. We tried to dive Lake Murray a few weeks ago and the visability was the worst I've ever seen. 2 feet...maybe...down to 20 feet. Deeper than that and it was zero. At 60 feet, the only way I could see my computer was turn on the back light and hold it against my mask. We thumbed the dive because I could not see my wife and daughter unless we were holding hands. I can't imagine having to search for a buddy that didn't come up.
