diver9744 - 8/17/2013 9:08 PM Rating Added: 2 long surface swim to see anything. very dark green & murky! viz was about 3 feet. Was consumed with Hydrilla!

JimKoz - 8/11/2013 8:15 PM Rating Added: 2 Not good vis on 8/10/2013 (1-2’). My guess is the vis better in Winter/Spring and not when large classes have been in the water. The good news is that there a lots of underwater attractions and lines tied between them to make navigating easy.
