This test is used to see how clear the water is. First we drop the Secchi Disk into the water. When in the water, the Secchi disk will glow and we'll keep letting it fall until we can't see it. After that, we measure how far it went down by meters, subtract by 3 meters that were not in the water and we got 8.1 meters
