Come on a calm, sunny morning in summer for the best chance of hitting the upper end of the visibility range, as wind and surface chop stir up sediment quickly. A drysuit or 7mm wetsuit with hood is worth considering even in the warmer months, since the deeper sections stay cold throughout the year.
