ha,I personally don't like low vis. I would guess I've got only 5-6 dives in low vis, but one among them is a doosey. I dove Bonneville Seabase (look it up) out on the west side of the Great Salt Lake in Utah. Three large artificial ponds carved out of the salt flats where there used to be springs filling them (still are I guess, just not strong flow). But the vis was hilarious, my son and daughter were with me, and I'm wearing flourescent blue for my wetsuit. Couldn't see past your hand if that most of the time, Lost each other multiple times, ended up at opposite ends of the pond, followed each other thru the bottom grass, oh it was a riot, but I hated it at the same time.
Compare that to the guy we met at Sipadan, he was on the boat with my wife. They watched as we rode off on a seperate boat, pulled out past the reef into the big blue, and dropped in from there for my Tec40 dive. The guy told my wife I was a loon, and he hated the 'big blue' and all that vis, because 30m vis means you can see 30m DOWN too, and when you can't see anything DOWN there, it was unnerving to him. To me, it was awesome. We dropped down to 40m per the dive plan, leveled off, and swam toward the reef wall. We swam exactly 5 minutes towards that wall the entire time not able to see anything below us, or around us. Funny how 30m+ of vis can be come 'ZERO vis' in a different way. No points of reference, just you and your dive buddy/instructor. And after 5 minutes of that, you are really glad when you see the wall appear in the distance.
But given the seabase or Sipadan and the big blue sea? to be honest, hard to say. I was having fun in both, just a different kind of fun. Now, I wouldn't do either dive alone. So that's something to think about.
