0 to 30 - 20 feet
30 to 40 - 3 feet (muck)
40+ --- Oh ya this is why we dive 35+ not super dark

Edmonds today 5/22 had craptastic viz. Okay, it was a huge ebb, but wow, a lot of stray kelp and mud floating around.

Tons of dull-looking opalescents around though.

Sund Rock 5/28:

0-20fsw, 5-10'
20-35fsw, you might be able to see your gauges but not much else
35fsw+, 20'-35'+, better deeper

Vis on north wall suffered a bit due to proximity of OW class being held. South wall was much better in comparison.

Redondo - very low tide, between 3 and 7'. Yuck. 2nd dive, 15 to 20, much better as the tide came in.

Muk last night, 6/13 was actually not bad, really yucky layer but only down to 20' or so. After that it opened up to 30ish.

Thur 6/16
Boeing Creek was sometimes 10 - 15 other times 5. Seemed like a cloud blowing through.
Vertical barge was dark as your pocket with about 5 - 10 foot vis.
