Man missing after diving accident

I believe the strong current/entanglement risk is more dangerous than the vis. Low visibility isn't fun but it should not kill you unless you start to panic. You can always make a slow ascent to the surface in open water. In a wreck or cave it would definitely be a problem if you did not have the proper equipment and training.

Imagine flying along at a couple knots banging into stuff. That sounds like a good way to meet your maker.
