The viz took a nose dive in Howe Sound this past few days...all the rain has stirred up a lot of silt and we have had huge tidal exchanges as well.

Hopefully it'll settle down.

By the way we are unloading two of our underwater camera's and housing's,,,great deal for the person interested in getting into it.

I can refer you to CL ads if you reply

You have to believe the viz is amazing and it well be in your mind
Same works for the water temp YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE
 
At times like these I often refer to one of my favorite texts on the subject for guidance; A Buddhist guide to diving the Pacific Northwest:

"When you perceive the inherent emptiness of all manifestation, and stop grasping at form, the vis will clarify and you will experience the true nature of all phenomena."

Okay...I'll try and picture it in my mind,,,maybe its like " the force"....you just feel it........lol
 
Oh no, the force was just science fiction. This stuff is real.

From The Existentialist Diver by J.P. Sartre:

"Ultimately, it does not matter what the vis is like, as experiences of this nature are beyond our human control. What matters is our motivation to dive regardless of the vis".
 
It's been a while and my memory is a bit foggy. I borrowed some books off of this guy I met in an Ashram.

But not to worry; the answers are all inside one's self anyways.
