Yesterday, 3/17, at Mukilteo T-Dock was <5ft down to about 30ft then opening up to 15ft or so below that. There was a very visible halocline at 30ft too.

Jorstad Creek yesterday was a nice 20' or so - under 45 fsw or above 20 fsw. In between was a algae addled 10' or so. Octopus Hole unfortunately is in the 'not so sweet spot' for the viz yesterday so Bassman and I did a 70 minute dive in the murk. That is a LONG wall!

My my my I HATE autocorrect.... apparently when my phone sees "murk" it thinks "nudi". Who knew?!

Corrected. Thanks Ron!

Made for a great post, Tom.

Really nice viz at Cove 2 this morning, probably 20ft+.

The traffic on the bridge coming back is soooo bad these days. Makes one not want to dive Alki because of how long you will sit on the bridge.

Viz at Les Davis was anywhere from pea soup, to around 15 feet. So bad on the last dive, my buddy and I got separated, and even my 35w HID couldnt signal him.

Mukilteo lower case "i" dock (formerly the T-dock before the storm a few years ago.)
3/28/12 - Vis up to 30 ft at high tide. I could see my bubbles break the surface once at 40 ft.
Thanks to Morning DiverBob and Kimo for the dive.

Sund Rock pea soup up top opened up 12-15 with LOTS of snot in the water base of the walls.

Three Tree North this evening was a nice 25' or more. Hoping the Spring murk holds off a while longer..n

Tom Nic · Post by **Tom Nic** » Sun Apr 01, 2012 7:09 am

Fox Island East Wall viz at depth was a good 30'... very nice. Shallower you were the worse it was as there was a good deal of wind and waves.

Titlow was a solid 25', very nice for this time of year.

Zen Diver · Post by **Zen Diver** » Tue Apr 03, 2012 5:06 pm

Sund Rock today (4-3-12) 15-20 feet below the schmutz layer (below 15fsw), some depths a smidge more.

PNWDVR2012 · Post by **PNWDVR2012** » Thu Apr 05, 2012 7:01 am

sunnyside night dive
15' (nice) kinda chunky
dove on ebb around 7 and 9pm had slight southernish current

Radio · Post by **Radio** » Fri Apr 06, 2012 6:34 pm

5-7 ft. at Redondo today. Lots of tiny lumpsuckers around.

Tom Nic · Post by **Tom Nic** » Fri Apr 06, 2012 9:42 pm

Three Tree North last night was variable, 10' to a good 30' depending on depth and the vagaries of the current.

DecidedlyOdd · Post by **DecidedlyOdd** » Thu Apr 12, 2012 8:43 am

Probably 10+ ft with lots of fine crud in the water at Redondo last night on an incoming high tide. Was expecting a lot worse with spring having sprung.

Cove 2, Monday the 16th, 15-20' at 50-75 fsw. Snot in water.

Gdog · Post by **Gdog** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 9:45 am

Tuesday, Sund Rock South Wall. Vis ~5', down to about 20fsw, then opened up to about 30'. Still cold, my dive computer said 44 degrees. Several Wolfies, but only one Octo to be found.

TTN April 18th around 6pm: Wonderfully crapulant (verb). First 20 ft around 7-10 ft at best. FYI this is considered a good day at Lake Travis in central Texas! Beyond that vis opened up to a dark 20 ft. Not alot of sea life to be seen, but still a good dive. Had fun training my son-in-law in the art of SCUBA. Got to say he's a good student for a 20 something from Costa Rican!
