Comments and Feedback
Visibility was really bad. I had intended for this dive to be a scouting mission to mark huge nets for an upcoming event with several divers. I was with a new diver first time diving the location and between 10-15 dives so I kept the dive shallow and within the reef due to bad vis and experience level.
