Is there any visibility and currents database/website for scuba divers?

I am looking for a database/website that allows looking up currents and visibility information for global (or at least Asian) dive sites.

To find this information without such a site is a true nightmare since one has to scour multiple forums and websites for a specific dive site, one by one. If I had a website with centralized information, I could much easier check where it is good to go during a specific week.

I want to be able to pick a dive site and find out how the situation is in a specific season instead of having to guesstimate the conditions by taking a national average or even having to ask in a forum if ever anyone has been to a place in a certain month and hoping for a reply...

Any one knows of such a directory?

You should look at your certification and look at their website for various exploration projects.

For example. GUE has a list of current exploration projects with information on visibility from past dives. Some like Emerald Sink have data more recent then others.

Scuba Adviser also provides information on the dive sites in Asia but you will need to be a little more specific as to the dive site to get information.
