Diver's Notes

Panama City Dive Club Event

In coming tide, however due to run off the current was actually flowing out a bit or at least it seemed like it.

Top 10ft of sea water was an extremely low visibility layer halocline. After you got below that though it actually was relatively clear water, but low light penetration due to the top layer. Some points we were able to go without a dive light and with a dive light we would have visibility upwards of 20 to 25ft.
