The first 30 meters from shore was broken plant matter. Nasty. Vis was terrible for the first 15 minutes, then cleared up nicely. I went farther north than I believe I have ever gone. Producer was there filming for the upcoming documentary. I recorded it all with head mount gopro. Time of video was 1 hour, 12 mins. EDIT: The first half of the video at this link is gopro headmount footage of the cleanup dive, set to awesome music - https://vimeo.com/342956960
