Three Tree 9/10 seemed like a solid 40ft. Dropped to 25ft+ for the second dive.

Both the first and second dive at Three Tree today I was able to see the surface from 55ft down. Obviously less when looking to the side, but still pretty darn good.

Redondo was easily 30ft horizontal yesterday (9/16). Vertical vis was 40+.
We found thee red octos at various places along the deep line, plus a friendly juvenile wolfie. Lots of gunnels and gobies about. The amount of light still available on the bottom was amazing, even at 80 fsw.

Octopus Hole 9/22, muck down to 40fsw, clearing below with 25' vis.

One big octo with its chromatophores going full tilt. White-gray, then turning deep red. Way cool!

9/23 Cove 2- 20+ft, viz dropped a little after 100min due to OW classes. New personal best, 1hr 50min dive this morning.

Saltwater State Park and KVI Towers (off Ocean Quest), 9/24 -- 18-20ft near the surface, improving with depth. Probably 30 feet of visibility deeper than 20fsw.

Or in other words: the clearest water I've seen here in the Sound since I started diving here this spring.

10/9 Cove 2--super clear, 30 feet.

10/11 Mukilteo TDock great viz on top, maybe 20ft? Got worse with depth, a murky 15ft.
