sounds like you guys kicked up a real sh#$ storm........
Sorry, couldn't help myself

June 2nd:
Lake Crescent
Could have been worse.

Good viz. Hope it get's better for our July 25 trip! At least we'll have a warm layer on top for deco.

It was already pretty warm. It'll be really nic ein Jul, but best in Oct/Sept.

Redondo today 10fsw with alot of particulates and a slight north current

T-Dock was actually a pretty nice 15 maybe 20 in spots. Big goobers.

Rosie's Ravine was a snotty 15-20 down to about 70-80fsw, then opened up to a nice 30' viz down to 140fsw at least.

150ft was still really nice @Sund

For the first time, I finally saw an Octo outside of its den!

Sund Rock - Sat 6-8

0-30 fsw - 10ft
30-60 fsw - 2 ft
60-75 fsw - 15 ft

Below rec depths... well, I don't go there... can't say.

At 95 few viz started opening up to 20 ft. By 110 - 150 viz was 30-40. Lots of critters in the 120-150 range. Mostly rock fish, sculpins, gunnels, and crabs.

Three tree north, Sunday June 10- looked really bad at surface, but about 10' at the tires and deeper

Surprisingly good tonight at Cove 2. 15-20ft, although a bit hazier in the shallows.

Hoodsport:
0-15fsw was really clear
15-60fsw was pea soup with whale snot
60-130fsw was quite nice, a respectable 10-15ft of viz

Edmonds was about 5' at the first buoy at slack low tide, had about 15' out at the pontoon.

Cove 2 a good 20' shallower than 60', this morning.

Edmonds oil dock about 20-25 ft at the secret reef this morning.

Richmond Beach even better at 30ish ft out by the octopus brick.

We did Redondo on a low tide last evening ... vis down to 30 fsw was 15-20 feet. At depth ... below 50 fsw it was 30+.

Finally ... I think this coming week it's time to get out and enjoy some decent vis ...

6/16/13 - am

Point Whitney/Brinnon Hood Canal - 5 - 10 ft down to 60fsw or so... then opened up nicely to 25-30 or so to 100fsw or so at the end of the pipeline

6/16 Saltwater 30+, Maury Island Barges 40+

Redondo 06/18/2013 @ 14:00

0-20 = 30ft
20-70=40ft

It's diving time. Viz is incredible!

Time to dust off the wide angle lens

Ugh, EUP tonight less than 1 ft viz down to 20fsw, maybe 5-10 ft after that.

Damn, was hoping to catch it on a good viz day.

Cove 2 Tuesday night, low tide, excellent 30'-40' viz from 30fsw to 110fsw.

There's a gigantic dinoflagellate right now. They are chowing down on all the plankton. The bloom runs from West Point northwards to Admiralty inlet-ish. So try somewhere between West Point and Tacoma for the best vis. Outside of the dinoflagellate bloom but where they have eaten all the algae.

Port Townsend yesterday and today: 5-10 in the first 30fsw, 15-25 down to 110fsw.

And the barnacles in the shallows are going crazy sweeping up all the bloom!
