What is low vis? ( you asked ) To me it appeared to be from 15 down to 5
feet in the conduit. To give you an idea of how good WKPP buddy skills
are, we ran a five man team in that with no separations occurring.

 Jarrod and I dove a two man team , but that is a lot easier ,
especially when it it two guys hwo have done this together for 10 years.
The other five had not dove together before, but followed strict DIR
priciples. Those five are some of our best players, all home grown boys.

 I set it up to be a 2 and 3 effectively for tracking and response
purposes, but there were able to stay together anyway.

 Look, in Leon Sinks we can put in safeties and stage gear in low vis,
but exploration is inefficient like that. We did it in anticipation of
the system clearing in two weeks, and being able to leapfrog that dive
into an instant exploration dive, our MO.

 JJ and I wanted to get everyone in the water for a real dive and get a
good shakedown cruise - that was achieved. We ran the whole thing
concurrently , and it was as slick as it gets.
