Hood Canal Phytoplankton visible from Space

Post by dphershman »

I was thinking of taking an out of state friend to Sund Rock next week, but when I saw this posted it gave me second thoughts.

Does anyone have a recent viz report for Sund Rock or Hood Canal in general?

Thanks!

I was at sunrise this Sunday and the top 25ft was pretty cloudy, but below that it was decent. Below 60fsw it was about 30ft and kept opening up below that.

Not a huge surprise. I have to say it was a tad "fragrant" week before last when we dove there.
