[Jan K]

Possession Point Fingers, Wedneday 19th. 0-2' first 15 feet, then silty 10 ' . :(

[LCF]

Bainbridge rock fingers and the Boss -- 2 to 3 down to 30; a hazy 10' after that. LOTS of surface current on the fingers.

[Waynne Fowler]

Sund Rock: Hood Canal 1/19/2011. viz 20' to 25fsw, 30+ beyond that.

[Dusty2]

Redondo today, BAD! 4' max down to 30 0r so then maybe a hazy 10' at 80 to 90' :angry: Worst I've seen. Not only bad viz but nothing to see but shrimp and a few crabs! I didn't take a single photo so you know it really sucked.

We found a very large GPO sitting on top of the pile of reflectors, which was very cool to see at Redondo. We also saw 4-5 shaggies and a Warbonnet.
Other than that, just poor viz!

It was a pretty nice dive despite the less than spectacular visibility. The GPO was definitely cool. Getting decent pictures was shall we say challenging.

Viz @ Les Davis on 1-20-11

[PeninsulaDiver]

Vis @ Point Hudson today - Horizontal 10 opening up to 15 in places.

Dusty, everytime I encounter your friends they are a little larger.
Too bad they probably won't stick around as adults.

Sund Rock was 20+ today. About 10' on the surface and probably 30' down by fish pen wall. By 6pm the wind had kicked up some crud ion the surface.

[LCF]

Viz at Port Hadlock today -- maybe 8 to 10 at absolute best; shoulder to shoulder and having trouble seeing one another at worst. And yes, we failed to find the wreck . . .

[ljjames]

Alki junkyard yesterday 10-15 at best.

Alki pipeline today, 5-10...

[whatevah]

Keystone today - beautiful day out. 10' at the pilings and 15' at the end of the breakwater. Kelp Greenling dads are on duty, GPOs were all home in their dens and there were a number of PS King Crab babies trying to blend in with the orange social ascidians. Visibility through my beer at Toby's was about 1", but improved considerably as I drained the glass.

[WylerBear]

Three Tree North, less than 10' at depth. Still good dives-found 2 PSL's!

[ljjames]

Cove 2 this evening... 20-30' where the seals were not...

[cardiver]

Day Island Wall @ 0530 (yawn) was at least 20fsw and no current during our entire 72 minute dive!

[mz53480]

20ish down to about 100fsw, then about 10-15 from 100-125fsw.

Possession Point ferry, Sunday 13th - 20 ft

[ljjames]

easily 40' when we were out this afternoon at cove 2

[gutholmj]

Octopus Hole on 02/19. Surface winds and chop had things pretty mucked up down to about 40 feet. Perhaps 6-10' vis at best but things opened up substantially below 50 fsw and I would say perhaps 25' of vis.

There really wasn't much to see for some reason but the anemones were gracious enough to pose for a few pictures. Perhaps all the fishies decided to holiday for the long weekend.

Took the boat out late this afternoon for a test run after some repairs. Dropped in to check out Sares Head and found that visibility was about 6'. Disappointing. Perfect for stumbling across Lingcod males defending their nests. Weather was getting unpleasant by the time I surfaced. Dusk dive at the floating docks by the boat launch to check for any cool salvage from last summer's boating activities. No cool Coast Guard coffee mug this time - good quality stainless steel fillet knife will have to do
