15-25 metres is usual, and up to 40 metres during the colder periods of the year. Visibility is occasionally obscured by algal blooms in summer, especially in small, shallow bays.

 Quotes

“As a diver you are weightless and can move in all directions. You approach the freedom of a bird as you move in three dimensions in a fluid environment.” Dennis Graver.
