Not sure of the exact measurement, but less than 5ft... it was a silt-out. Best... I guess it's self-explanatory? I could see pretty far?

grand cayman..seemingly unlimited vis...local quarry 3 feet!

Tenkiller is about 4' viz now.
That is an improvement of what it was.

Let me rephrase this...

Where have you dived that has the best and worst average visibility.

I've done dives with vis that was somewhere between 8-10...inches. not to much by choice, but in college our local training site was in a small bay where 3 feet was a good day. It sucked, but man we turned out some good divers. If you can navigate well in near 0 vis you can do it anywhere. stick with a buddy when you can't see your waist and you will be a better diver for it. Those were the days

Best vis, i don't know, ginnie springs/little river probably tie with vis as far as my light would go.

Best: 100-150 feet

Worst: 0-6 inches.

Worst viz: Athens Scuba Park, Athens, Texas. Viz was about 3 feet. Have had a silt-out there where viz was 3 inches (difficult to read computer)

Best viz: Catalina Island, California off Casino Point. Viz was 40-50 feet

Best: Probably Coz...
Worst: Chatfield Resivoir outside of Denver, CO. Did my open water checkouts there. Viz was about 10-15 inches. And the water was freakin' cold.

Best: Cayman and caves in Florida. 100ft+

Worst: Lake Travis. The miky white layer at the thermocline is occasionally so bad it is impossible to see gauges even with a 10 W HID. Only time I have been in genuine zero viz.
