I spent the weekend in Hilton Head so I have been dying to get back in the water. I had very strong currents and absolute zero vis. That always makes me slow down and dig more. It seems I usually do better in zero vis than when I have a few inches and move around looking. This is what I ended up with after two dives. The top center two are over 5" and the bottom center two are over 4" and in great condition.

Y'know, Bill, instead of those nice plastic rulers, you should give out ShamWows with your logo on them...

BREAKING NEWS: It has been reported that there are no more Meg teeth available. Rumor has it that some froglike character called a "Megateeth" has found them all!! Stay tuned for more on this breaking story...

Meanwhile, I'll be listening for more breaking news.....

As usual you did awesome! Be careful out there. 
In formal logic, a contradiction is the signal of defeat: but in the evolution of real knowledge, it marks the first step in progress toward victory.

I used to think like that. Maybe I got overconfident. Ten years ago I wrote the following for Mark Renz's book Hunting the Hunter.
Quote
Dangerous local marine life such as sharks, rays, eels and alligators may also await the diver,” says Eberlein. “The limited visibility only adds to one’s apprehension. I have often imagined that my dive light acts as a beacon to attract any creature looking for a fat diver sandwich.”
Here is the rest.
