Amazing. Just a little fine snot from 0-30, but was clear and probably 30-40ft viz below 30ft....and cold too.
Go dive!

Deception Pass 4/16/16. Say 10-15 feet. A lot of 'Skagit' in the water. Better than 2 weeks ago.

Lake Washington (PB4y) viz totally sucked (-5ft) until got below 80ft, then was "ok". 10ft, or so.

Redondo was dark today. The first dive we had about 8 feet of viz, it was black at 30 feet. The second dive we had about 15 feet of viz, but more ambient light.

Top 10ft was almost crystal clear. from 10-35fsw it was hazy (maybe 5ft viz). Below that it cleared up nicely (15-20ft viz).

Salt Pier, Tori's Reef had 100' + viz.
Further south winds waves stirred things up to only 60' or so and maybe 30 in the shallows.
But it's Bonaire, so all good!

Titlow 5/8 on the 1pm minus tide... 20' (so the entire water column) with the healthiest amount of life I have ever seen there. Sunlight coming down through the anenomes was amazing.
