How much does water visibility change your mood on a scuba dive?

Question

Ben · Accepted Answer

Great visibility = outstanding dive
Good visibility = great dive
Medium visibility = ok dive
Low visibility = ok dive
Almost no visibility = still a dive ish
Regardless of the visibility you are still connecting with mother nature. In turn its makes us feel alive. Any dive is better than no dive

Tanja · Answer

It doesn’t matter. As long as I am diving everything is great

Alan · Answer

I'll be happy so long as I'm in the water.

Cold bothers me more than visibility

Alex · Answer

I only go diving where there's good visibility 🤣 Pictures will be available next week.

Eric · Answer

I live in the midwestern US, where low to poor visibility is typical most of the year.   So I won't say low viz changes my mood, but I do get extra excited when I get good visibility, evergreen that be unexpectedly good in a local lake, or expected good because I'm on vacation in the tropics.

Thierry · Answer

As long as I'm in the water, my mood is at its peak.  
The thing that brings my mood down is a member of the crew who is acting all over the place and needs to be put back in line 😂.

My PADI/NAUI certified diving course took place on days of turbulent waters inside and almost zero visibility. It wasn't pleasant, but the challenges were overcome. It's much better to dive with good visibility to enjoy appreciating another world and the comfort of predictability.
