I think you should actually ask New England divers how they avoid backscatter, since they have particulate matter in the water all the time :-)

Somewhere Dan has a picture of a sponge that he took up here off Gloucester on a day where we had maybe 10 foot vis, and lots of schmutz in the water. Not a single bit of backscatter to be found anywhere in the shot. Truly amazing...

i'd hate to think the limited problem i had with back scatter was due to not having the strobe really pointed at the subject(s)...

As Faith mentioned, strobe positioning is the most important element in reducing backscatter. The image of sponges Faith referred to was taken at Halfway Rock. I was shooting the with the 15mm lens on my Nikonos setup, and was very close to the subject.

I'll let Jake or someone else on Bonaire answer the question about particulate level vs. time of year.

Backscatter, a vicious rumor started by film photographers. I don't believe in it and it never occurs with a good digital camera. Get close and shoot down and no problem.
