Re: Viz Reports Thread
Redondo is still less than 5' viz all the way down to 85fsw. Huge plankton ice critters / masses, especially above 30 fsw. Feels like swimming in amoeba soup.

Re: Viz Reports Thread
Seacrest Coves had a green layer shallow that dissipated below about 30 feet and then it opened up nicely to about 20-25' of vis, with very little particulate matter in the water.

8/15 Cove 2. 30+ feet. The heavy rains didn't muck it up. Get it while it's good!

8/15 0800, Cove 3. Really nice conditions (20-25 ft) for OW class today with outgoing tide.
Re: Viz Reports Thread
8-19 Sunnyside Park - Looked awesome in the shallows, but closed right up to 8-10' viz below 10' and never got much better out to the 60' range on the pipeline. Good ambient light down at depth though, so all in all it didn't suck too bad.
Re: Viz Reports Thread
Neah Bay is a surgy 20-25' at Tatoosh South & Mushroom. Big swells, getting worse the next few days. It's going to be 'iffy' out there.
The Jetty barely had 10' viz as the surge pounded the shore.

Re: Viz Reports Thread
Has anyone dove Redondo recently? I am curious if the viz is any better than last weekend.

Hoodsport: Sund Rock, Octopus Hole: 8/22, 8/23:
clear in the shallows, down to about 15ft.
real nasty layer of bloom from 20-30ft. Maybe 2ft viz, at best.
Clears up to 10-15ft viz below that, but gets dark at 60fsw.
Everything is up shallow right now. Rockfish are hanging out at 12fsw at Sund.
Edit: here's a video of the rockfish:

Cove 2 Thursday 0930, high tide starting outflow. Awesome fish-bowl viz continues, but there was a layer of misou soup about 20' or so. In the shallows, and once below, viz was most excellent.
Re: Viz Reports Thread
When I was landing at SeaTac yesterday I was amazed at the visibility from the air - you could see a ton of structure near shore. I'm glad that the reports confirm what I saw from the air - time to go diving!
