Three Tree N. on Tuesday morning was a good 15 to 20 feet when below 60 fsw.
Above 60 fsw or around 50 and above it was still 5 to 10 feet of vis.
Rooinator commented that at least it was much better than his recent dives at Les Davis. :supz:

Redondo last night (6/16) around 7pm vis was ~15 feet between 30 and 60 fsw. Above 30fsw was about 10 feet.

It seems like all the schmutz is starting to coalesce into bigger clumps. Perhaps it will fall out and some really good vis is on the way.

It was nice to be able to see so much at once. At the same time it also highlights the garbage dump aspects of Redondo. That area around the toilet really looks like a pit when you can take it all in in one single view.

Snotty is good. :smt038 When I hear "snotty" I start planning my next trip. Combined with the nice tides it looks like Independence Day weekend might be a great time to be in the water.

Thursday evening, lake washington...

The lake is starting to turn i think... the 'good vis' line is getting deeper, but it's still 30+ on the wall at 75'. Not as good as 2 weeks ago, but nothing to complain about either ;)

Point Hudson this morning 5 to 10ft. :vom:
But, the critters were out. All the usual suspects plus 2 gpo's in the Jetty. The Canary's are back as well. Even with bad vis, this site rarely disappoints for critter sightings.
