On top of the cold water, the vis was...foggy, misty, along those lines, and not that great. By the third day, vis was maybe 15' at best. Not what I had anticipated at that location.

Point Whitney 0-20 3-5, 20-40 crappy, 80-100 craptastic (first dive) worse second dive on flood. Nice dive site though.

Maury Island Barges and Saltwater State Park -- Via Bandito Charters
Easy 30+ foot viz - Large whale snot - lots of fish.

We could see the whole trawler from the first piling at Maury and had an excellent view of the barge remains.

Edmonds UWP was about 10ft or so at around noon (near high tide), a little worse in the shallows and a little better at depth (only got down to 35fsw). Not amazing but definitely diveable.

Nice. We probably had 40 feet at Langley once under 30 feet. Surface muck, but deep deliciousness.

Skyline, very very hazy 15, more like 5-10ft.

Would be an awesome dive if the viz was better.

Jorsted Creek this afternoon was 40', and our follow-up Octopus Hole visit was 30'. Best part was that viz was good shallow as well as deep, so we got to enjoy both shallow walls. Octopus hole had a thick layer of brown goo from about 10-15 fsw but then cleared nicely.
