While sitting around the campsite at Leo Carillo this weekend, the topic of underwater webcams arose. The thought was that it would be neat to have an underwater "visibility detector" installed at various dive sites, so divers could check on the web the realtime viz at the local dive sites.
Here is the link to a detailed history of possibly the only UW webcam, installed at a depth of 60 ft. in Bonaire.

There is also a link on the left to the realtime image.
SBDiver was ruminating that we could do something similar, and install marked signs in the distance along the sea floor. So if you can see the sign marked "20", which is located 20 ft. from the camera, you know the viz is at least 20 ft. All this less than $10,000.
See? That's what happens when we sit around a campsite for two days, not diving.
