    Thank you. Perhaps some day, when I gain more experience.

    WOW, 10' of vis... Was that well someone's drinking water supply? or should I say, mud water supply? Do they treat that prior to drinking it? or just irrigation water?

    Ha, we thought we were in heaven with 10' of VIZ. The first two times I dove it, it was storming outside with 0 VIZ. It was nice to acually see what we were diving, and be able to survey a bit. The farmers just pump and spray it, but the city water supply was treated, naturally.... It's interesting to see the pump house, and remaining equipment. We dove something very similar in the Domincan a couple months ago, but it was gin clear, with very agressive rock outcropping throughout, that "latched on to everything". "Velcro Cave".

    In WV it would be drinkable.

    10' of vis is great. I am lucky to get 3-5 ft. I read a survey that said "i got to a room where I couldnt see from one wall to the other" and got excited until i realized that the "room" could be just 6 ft wide, depending on the day they dove it.

    Haha, we have a quarry here in N Texas that has that kind of vis most of the time. Especially when students get done with a weekend of diving!
