Re: Viz Reports Thread
Alki was 30+ feet this morning before the students got in. A little chunky up top but very nice below 40 feet.

Re: Viz Reports Thread
Cove 2 was very nice this afternoon. Easily 20-30 at the beams (get by without a light), and from 50' at the brick pile, you could easily see the surface ripples. Viz was certainly better down below about 40 or so.

We found the skates anywhere from 80 to 30 feet (we dropped down to the carousel and then angled north up slope back to the line a bit before the VW). And, by everywhere, specifically we saw 4. But, I've only ever seen 1 ever, so they seemed very plentiful by comparison! The largest one we spotted was around a depth of 30 feet on our way out heading to a safety stop. All but one were actively swimming.
I brought my video camera with the intention to do video and the conditions were great. However I left my sola's at home, so the camera stayed in the car.

Re: Viz Reports Thread
9/2 Redondo about 3' viz 0-35', then opened up to about 15' viz below that.
Re: Viz Reports Thread
9/4, 0630 Cove 2, almost 0' low tide. Shallows, 2-3', opening up to maybe 5 down to 35 fsw, then about 10 at the beams. Might be combo of tides and recent rain, but it's the definition of "craptastic".
