Thursday 6/16, 3 dives at Three Tree, HORRIBLE viz. Low tide viz was 3 to 5' down to 80 fsw, 2nd dive high tide some decent viz below 50 fsw, 3rd dive you had to hit 70 to see. Good dives, but had to spend a lot of time deep for pics.

shallow viz seems to be crappy everywhere right now.

Saturday 6/18, Kayak Point. Anything past arms length was just a blurry shape, maybe 10 ft below 30 ft depth.

Kayak point well, just needed to have a dive before our upcoming Cozumel cruise excursion. Haven't been underwater in a couple of years so somewhere easy was the goal.

Cove 2, vis in the shallows absolute epic craptastic, vis on the beams, actually rather awesome by comparison with snot globbies... Don't bother diving shallower than like 50-60 tho, especially not with scooters or you might run into those pilings that are lurking around...

Redondo 7/7 chunky all the way down to 80 feet. 5-7 feet of chunky viz. Weird pockets of 44F water around 20 feet that tingled the face.

Mukilteo was 50+ feet this morning at the Boeing Pier. In-effing-sane. Diving the Boeing Pier at the end of the dock I could kneel on the bottom, look up and see the waves rippling on the surface (and the 16 tire-sized egg yolk jellyfish strung out like wire between the pilings that I ended up saving from Plumose Anemones.). Get out there now folks. It's gorgeous!

Absolutely fantastic viz at Three Tree this morning. I was at the bottom in 55fsw and could see the waves on the surface.

And if anyone wants a nice salad just bring a fork with you.
