Ah, I'm a pro :-) Sorry, this isn't a flame.

If you come to the UK you may change your mind on that. It is a
standing joke here that you know you've found the wreck when you
bump into it. As several members of this list can attest my ability
to judge distances when the viz gets over 10 feet is extremely
suspect :-) It is a fact of diving here that there will be days
when you can't see your gauges further than 2" in front of your
mask.

Also, over here the pros sometimes turn to the amateurs when the
viz gets low. A member of my club was one of a number of rec divers
asked to help recover a child's body from a zero viz river because
the police divers said that conditions were too bad for them to
carry out the search.
