This past sunday 1/25 at Keystone, vis was I'd say 15ft. It was actually better than I expected given the amount of rain that we had the day prior. Here's a link to video taken this past Sunday. Judge for yourself.

Vis at Edmonds was excellent last night! Even with the tide way out (we had to wade out to the end of the jetty), we had a good 25+ feet. It could have been more, we were just limited by our lights.

And there were octos! :taco: One was in the big junk pile on Telegraph Rd just north of the dry dock. The second was in one of the tubes by Jetty Way.

Bachelor rock 3/28. 20 feet. Surge had it pretty stirred up though. Urchins galore!

Planned to dive salt creek but the winds had the waves going. Looks like things are starting to calm down now.

Redondo today wasn't bad at all. Maybe 10 feet in the top 20, opening up to a hazy 15 to 20 at depth.

Redondo, Saturday 4/18/15--about 5 feet in front of the MaST down to 60 ft (heard it didn't get any better deeper). About 7 feet along the north line from the pipe boat to the VW. Yucko.

Lake Washington at Madison Park Beach on the Corsair wreck was actually pretty good for the lake this morning. Probably a good 10-15ft of murky lake viz. It's probably better than the sound lately based on the reports above.

Blakely rock east at high slack was 20-30' vis all around. The ebb started blowing chunks towards end of the dive.

Alki fishing reef was a dark 15' vis on bottom, and a chunky 5' vis layer near the surface.
