Redondo this afternoon was horrible. I'd say less than 3ft of vis. At 70ft, it still hadn't opened up so we thumbed the dive. Beautiful day on the surface though.

Viz Redondo 4/13 Craptastic at 1-2 FSW - it was said the viz cleared up below 50 FSW but I did not find that to be true it was just DARK and crappy viz so I stayed around 25 FSW so I could actually see something and just tooled around for a short dive

The Muk in class yesterday was diveable, better as you got deeper.

Sunday at Les Davies was just delightful.

5-7ft max early in the day down to about 2-3ft after noon.

When you say "diveable" now many feet you think? I am hopeful by tomorrow night it'll be cleared up a bit. I am not diving tonight.

Typically, if the viz is pretty crappy, it's slightly less crappy at Three Tree. You might want to try there.

Hmmm, why do you think 3tree is like that? Does the water move better there?

Three Tree is protected and the has an eddy thing going on. However, it's one of the few spots I've dove that I called the dive because of bad viz. Only happened once but it was the worst viz I've ever experienced.

Blue Grotto has great viz but it's a pretty boring dive.

Theres a new cave right next to Blue Grotto, but it hasnt really been opened yet I was told, or something to that effect. But the cavern is fun to do a few dives in for a first timer.

Cove 2 last night was pretty sketchy. We could see can lights at about 3' in the shallows. It "opened up" to maybe ten feet below 40.

Three Tree was terrible until you were 60 -70 fsw and then tolerable, but to say 10' would be generous. Tide was low low low, which probably didn't help.

Cove 2 was a bit better this morning. Close to shore we had 10ft+ viz, further out it was closer to 5ft pretty much everywhere.

Has anyone dove Les Davis lately? I am going to try this one tonight but have not heard any viz reports on it in a long time.

Lake Washington - Dove the Corsair off from Madison Park last night. Vis was about 10 ft. at best.

BTW - If your a boater stop throwing your junk into Lake Washington, the stuff just sits there and never decomposes. We were picking up old pull tab style beer cans from the 70's that looked like they just came out of the fridge.
