Did 2 tanks today at 3T. Easily the best visibility all summer that I've seen, and probably #2 that I've seen in the sound between last year and this year. Probably 40ft at depth, and you could look up and see the surface from 55ft. Explored a little further than I've been before, going deeper than usual on the first dive, and further north on the second. It was a popular spot today, with 3 of us in our group, JT and another person diving on their own, and then 4 other people showing up when we did our second dive. ScubaJess showed up to try on a drysuit I was selling and take it for a test dive, and ended up locking her keys in the car. Neck seal was too loose so she got flooded, then had to wait for AAA to show up. So, not the best dive for her. AAA wasn't able to open the car, so I successfully tried the string method to open it up

Re: Three Tree 9-10-17 Awesome vis
I'm just glad I brought 2 tanks with me. I would have been upset to only do one dive when the visibility was this good. I did find out an issue that I hadn't had a problem with before: With the good visibility, enough sunlight came into the port to cause a reflection of the front of the lens with the white lettering. Showed up in about half of the shots and had to be removed. Time to break out the sharpie and/or tape.
Re: Three Tree 9-10-17 Awesome vis
Yeah I don't know what camera setup you have, but that is a problem I often have as well. Short of using the sharpie method, there really isn't a good solution. Trying to remove the reflection in post is sometimes difficult.

Olympus E-M5mkII in a Nauticam Housing. I think it's just a general problem of a dome port in the sun.
