You are most welcome! TTN is one of the many very reliable sites that we are blessed with here in the Puget Sound. And I still maintain that the viz will be as good or better than anywhere else in an inner Sound shore dive on any given day. And yes, the ratfish were everywhere yesterday! We easily saw 40 or 50, and that's being conservative.

Were you the couple driving the Rav4? If so, I'm glad that Bassman's directions worked out for your dive and it was nice meeting the two of you!

I think this must have been the Husband and Wife team we{Bassman & Car Diver}, met at Three Tree N. Thurday afternoon.
Glad you had a good dive. Even though the current was not doing its normal "flow to the South".
It was actually flowing North for our dive. Hope that didn't mess you up. It realy does flow South most of the time.
Wait until you get a chance to do a night dive there, It gets even better!

Yeah, we were laughing at ourselves once we got down with the current, thinking, "crap, we must have misunderstood his directions." Glad to know that we're not (so) crazy! Hoping to hit TTN again on Thursday evening...thanks again! :smt038

dove lobster shop wall with raptor666 last week...vis was milky first 20-30ft. (~10-15ft vis) but pretty good at the wall and below (~20+ft vis). That was the best vis i've seen all year!

Dove fox island west wall on 8/31 and south of solo point on 9/1....very poor vis (10ft vis max), a lot of sediment and green crud in the water.

I went by LD this afternoon and it didn't look too bad. Nothing to shout about but at least it didn't look like a cold latte! Standing onshore I could see there is still allot of stuff suspended in the water but you could see a good 10 to 15' down to the bottom. It's pretty much a timing thing there. If you can catch it when the river is flowing toward Seattle your good but it can change quickly.

Ok, I need to know if the whale snot has settled out leaving us with crystal green waters. Any body been anywhere?
