Mask in the bag. Water looks stirred, not crystal. Flag is yellow. Dive shop says 'visibility is mood'. I do not want a reef cut for a grey photo.

Sit it out if it is stirred and yellow. Unawatuna snorkel after leftover SW swell is often a salt rinse, not a postcard. Reef cuts are free. If you go, stay in the sheltered corner, not past the rocks. No glass-boat cousin. No official-warning story. Just chop.
