Have you swam any OW where you could see the bottom? Where was it and how deep was it? What was down there? See anything interesting?

great question. I posted recently while actually in BVI on swimvacation. I saw anchors,tarpon,conch, coral( very healthy), coral fish too numerous to name, barracuda( cool to see but water so clear they just hovered and look at you no agression),green turtles,rays,rock walls (some you swam between) and snorklers. Too be able to combine an open water swim and basically a snorkling dive, if you saw something interesting you were encouraged to investigate and include others, I couldn't ask for anything more. I actually hoped to see a nurse shark, most common in BVI and harmless, but didn't.Finally, probably millions of silversides, low man on the eating chain, pelicans, jack,mackeral, tarpon, fish bats, and I'm sure more; fed on these daily.If you want to see the bottom and interesting things, check out swimvacation. I said it before, but it fits into this thread perfectly.
