Keystone Currents Recommendation
Posted: Thu Dec 22, 2022 11:44 am
Hello All,
The freezing rain tonight has my dive buddy chickening out for tomorrow's dive. I'm trying to plan an alternate day for Keystone, and noticed that the PNWdiving.com rates December 27th as an excellent dive with a current of -2.5 to +0.6. It surprised me that the recommendation doesn't take into account the substantial ebb current before slack.
I have limited experience diving Keystone; I was wondering if anyone could recommend if the above current profile typically works? It sounds like the goal is to get in at slack, and dive only during the slack and flood current.
Thanks for your time,
Greg
