Visibility Under Water

Can anyone explain why it is so dirty under water at the moment? Visibilty is about 2m and its been like that for two weeks. It doesn't matter wheather your in 30m or 15m it's the same I know from freo to ocean reef. Is it because of the water temps being so hot for so long?

Deep swell and lots of plankton

Should clear up in a week or two and be mint - high water temps cause the plankton blooms !

i think there was a coral spawn about 2 weeks ago too so that could contribute. have to agree viz has been terrible regardless!
