Viz Reports Thread

Note, PT Whitney is now posted, you'll need a vehicle use permit or risk a $66 fine.

Permits are included with combo fishing lic, or $14 per year, beginning 4/1 and ending 3/31.
Permits are available at any DFW vendor.

I was annoyed having to drive back to Brinnon to pick up the permit, then drive back and dive.
Oh well, I have the permit and it's good until 3/31/12.

That sucks! I only dive there a couple of times a year. Not sure it's worth buying a permit. Bummer.

Clampocolypse is over!!!!!!! Vis was easily 10-20' tonight (where the seal and Kees wasn't)

[Lonestar]

436am? Wow Laura I'm impressed! So Redondo 830 this morning shared the great vis, easily 20 feet shallow and deep. Mid range (40ish fsw) was much less and very hazy. And sunshine, and lots of it, light was off a lot.

Still devoid of life. GPO still under the boat. Couple of big Dungeness and a rockfish.

Sund Rock, April 21, 11 AM & 1 PM:
North and south walls - 10 to 15 foot of viz, sunshine, oatmeal.

[Lonestar]

Redondo 1830 hrs.....vis hazy 10' on the shallow line. Couple of Ling and a Brown Rockfish at the VW, 10 or 15 smallish dungeness.

Friday 4/22 Newport Oregon Coast: Offshore visibility was 30+ feet and blue skies. Great day of diving, hopefully the video comes out

[Lonestar]

Dash Point, GREAT vis, 20+ until all of us Easter egg hunters silted it up! Saw a bunch of squid eggs and some rather large (as in really flipping big) dungeness before vis went to nada.

Cove 3 today -- viz was FANTASTIC (until we got there, but they are only OW students). I'd say 25 feet at least. Lots of Tritonia festivas out.

[LCF]

Edmonds today was pretty awful -- maybe 10 feet of murk, big particulates. But the sea lettuce and eelgrass are coming back!

[Nwbrewer]

Dive 1 for MMM last night was pretty bad. Less than 6' I'd say. Pauli by some miracle guided us all right into the geodome, but I almost hit it before I saw it. HID/LED's were a very good thing.

[Paulicarp]

Dive 2 for MMM saw 15-20 feet viz under 60fsw

[Gdog]

sorry..but...MMM? Where is that.

[Paulicarp]

Cove 2 last night, 20-25 at 100 feet, with just about every type of rockfish at the pilings, including vermillion, yellowtail, and puget sound rockfish!

[BASSMAN]

Not great vis,(5 to 110 feet) only because everything was flying by so, super fast! Fun!

Nice to see some good vis reports again!

[Lonestar]

Vis at Redondo was 20+ this morning. Both GPO's were there as well as surprise of surprises, a baby wolfie! Bunch of shrimp and crabs and rockfish.

[Scubie Doo]

Where was the baby wolfie located?

[Lonestar]

Living in one of the tires off the deep line

[WylerBear]

Three Tree 4/27 At least 20'. Still not many critters but they are showing up a bit more.

[Grateful Diver]

Three tree north.. Insane vis today 40 + feet .. Insane , some one pm me for a scooter dive there

[LCF]

The coves today -- absolutely incredible. This is snorkeling weather, guys! We swam out to almost 30 feet of water and could STILL see the bottom.

[Gdog]

Cove 2 Sunday May 1st, awesome vis, probably 30+ ft. It cant last, best get out and enjoy it ASAP!

[Lonestar]

3 Tree Sun night May 1, great vis. BIG GPO on eggs, Ratfish, couple of small flounder, bunches of baby crab, and TONS of small needle like fish. And a fireworks show about the time the news broke about Osama.
