I usually can't see more than a couple feet. It's a dream job for me. It's very physical, motivates deep and consistent breathing, and don't need to fight against gravity. I love getting paid for top shelf exercise. I see a lot of really cool life down there, and have gotten very good at guiding fish and nudibranchs to the underside of the docks, which have heavy growth and healthy ecosystems. But no, the water isn't crystal clear by any means where I am, but I believe I'm in possibly the best place in the world to do what I do. The bay is relatively shallow, lots of nutrients in the water, and lots of billionaires around here, so the bottoms of their status symbols collect lots of interesting growth. Mussels, oysters, barnacles, sponges, sea squirts, lots of things I've never known the names of. It used to creep me out until I stopped looking at it like one giant organism and started identifying what the individuals were. These guys like to latch onto my tongue sometimes. They're characters.
