The deck is around 110 fsw. The sand (not much interesting there) is a little over 125fsw. Conning tower is in the 80-90 fsw range.

So, if you decide to penetrate any of the openings you are between 110 and 125. Generally, I dive 30% O2 and get 30 to 40 minutes bottom time. You can choose to make one long dive - doubles are nice - or two 30 minute dives in which case I like to dive single 120's with a couple of stage bottles.

We go out a couple of times a month in the summer. No way to guess at visability - especially with the cold /wet/foggy spring we have had this year. Yesterday, June 13th, was our first summer's day diving. Blue sky - bright sunshine - warm air temps. Bottom temp was 48F. I'm still wearing my dry gloves!

I added a couple of yesterday's pictures to my renamed album.
