Captain diverts even though he can see the runway?
I’m not sure it’s even a realistic scenario. If the vis is that marginal, you’d expect the Captain to be PF and head free, and the FO to be PM and head down (at least where I work).
And if everything was so clear to the Captain but they’ve gone around, why would they then ‘probably divert’?
