Good to see ya back!

Yes, thanks for diving with us. Didnt seem like the new gear threw you much of a curve, musta went well.

A couple photos...

Great pics! I'll be bringing the RX 100 on my next dive!

Redondo last night ( after 295 days dry ) was 10-15 fsw. Thanks

It was great to see Ron back!

Viz was maybe 10-15, but _at the same time_ the water was so blurry that at times I could barely read the PPo2 on my backlit wrist gauge! BTW: There was bioluminescence in the water too!

Nice job on the photos Gdog, I especially like the octo!

Thanks Eric, its my favorite too. I really like how the hooded nudi turned out on your photos. Was really a good dive.

I am FINALLY back in the water. THANK THE MAKER! Maybe even make it to a ThThTh soon...

Harper 6:30 am 15 fsw and dropping... 8:30 am more like 10fsw... Tides or something... Or my big anemone stomping flippers... I dunno...

Sund Rock high tide AM: 15-25 top to bottom

Alki Fishing Reef - 20 - 25ft

August 3; Murph 3-4 ft; KVI Tower = 30 ft

Redondo, August 7th, very low tide, 2 to 5 ft, and that is generous.

It looked pretty horrible when I walked out on the dock, Tom..... I was hoping that it would open up at depth for you...

Sund Rock 8/7 20+ in the shallows, murky 15-20 below 50ish fsw. Very schmutzy layer from 20-50' (maybe 3-5').

Redondo, 8/10 @ 1500. 5 ft viz all the way down to 82fsw.

Saw sailfin sculpin and baby GPO.

Cove 2 prob had 15ft at 50ft down today.

Sunday 8/11
KVI Tower - 0 - 60 ft - Maybe 5-ft of vis. At 60 ft the visibility opened up to about 20ft
Alki Fishing Reef - A consistent 10 - 15 ft of vis

Sunday 8/12: Possession Wall (Fingers) 15-20 ft VIS at 50 to 80 FSW. Hat Is Fishing Reef 15 ft VIS at 40 - 50 FSW.

Sekiu Jetty - 15' clouds of krill and candlefish, tons of life, rumors of two gray whales but alas, none found.

Cove2, Aug 12 @ 1300. Viz 5-10 down to 25fsw, then 10-15 Below 25fsw. Pretty good dive today.

Aug 12, Salt Creek: 20-25 ft
Aug 13, Sekiu and Clallum Bay, 20-25 ft
Aug 14, Sekui: 20-25 ft AM, 10-15 ft PM

8/15 - Watermans Wall 5ft in the shallow cove opening up to about 12 - 15 ft once we were on the wall.

Thanks Again Richard for helping me with the dive planning!

Viz in Edmonds last night was very poor in the shallows. Coll and I only dove to about 21 feet and we called the dive at about 30 mins since it was so bad. Our dive buddies said in the deeper areas it was a bit better but still pretty low viz. I am hoping it clears up as we are diving there tomorrow night again and I hope for some more Bio. We got out of the water too early to see it last night.

8/15 @ Mukilteo Lighthouse: Probably only 3ft on the surface, opening up pretty decently to about 20ft below about 50fsw
8/16 @ Day Island Wall: 10-15ft in the shallows, opening up to more like 20ft along the wall

Saltwater State Park today -- Viz ranged between good and a whole lot better than that. I think there were areas where we had 30 feet or better. Lots of rockfish and ratfish, and no current at all at depth on a strong flood. Surface current blowing south, and the top 8 or 9 feet of water was almost ridiculously warm!
