Visibility can drop noticeably after rain or heavy weekend traffic from other divers stirring up the bottom, so an early morning visit on a weekday gives you the best chance of hitting the upper end of that 3 to 10 metre range. Check locally for current facility availability before you go, as on-site amenities can change.
