Redondo, 03/02/13, Evening ebb, 20-25ft below 15fsw. The wind and fresh water made for a soupy first 15 feet, but below that, it was great.

Agreed, but seemed slightly better down in the 80-110 fsw range... Could've just been the lack of light messin with me since I'm relatively new to salt water diving...

Hopefully the viz comes around.

So weird on the canal . Thursday evening was amazing, 30 feet everywhere . Friday afternoon, crapola, could not see your feet until you passed 50 feet. Then it was a night dive with about 10 feet of viz.

Saturday AM I warned my buddies to be prepared for close quarters diving . Well, it was bout 20 feet or better thru out the water column. Go,figure
