Re: How much better does the viz get in the winter?

I can assure you the last photo was taken of my buddy Jeremy Skinner laying on the bottom in 42ft of water west of clearwater pass. I had a filter on my camera that brought out the colors but even still, it was a clear day so the colors stood out a little more than usual. The soft coral next to the red grouper was on a small ledge in 35ft of water. I dont use a strobe on my camera...just strictly ambient light.

None of those pics are taken further than 9 miles out.
