The sea is clear today, no pics as gopro buttons are stuck or something, and put white plastic on light and it did not turn out so well. any way's about 30' vis today.
 
Yesterday we had a very high tide so I decided on a scallop dive and drift, the sun barely peeked out, seas were a little ruff.

After a short 12' high slack the current took me for a delightful drift and was moving pretty good as I had good vis flying across the bottom out next to the shipping lanes.
