Northwest Dive Club

Sund Rock 20 foot vertical extremely clear in the shallows and a milky 15 feet at 50 feet. 1st time diving this spot I will have to go back again.

Redondo on 4/27. Decent to about 90'. Vis was in the 10' range. Toward the end of the dive the Redondo River started making things a mess. Vis turned to about 5'.

Scubie, what time were you diving Redondo?

I splashed around 6:30ish.

Last night vis at Mukilteo was decent. I as in 35 ft and could see the surface. Horizontal viz at the geodome about 20-25 ft max I suppose.

Les davis tonight ok at 15' vis

Keystone -- 30' of goodness
Edmonds -- 5' of green snot

Cove 2, 0630 Friday AM. Starting to get pretty chunky, but viz down to about 30 fsw was still about 20', but by the deeper areas, viz looked more like 10'.

Les davis last night very dark at 10' vis below 20 fsw.

Point heyer / kvi tower pretty ok today at 15-20'vis all depths.

Cove2 this morning splash time 730ish or so....was pretty rough. I would say 5ft.....maybe 10ft if we were lucky. We used the phrase "Cove mud". Went all the way down to Budda and was still pretty bad viz the whole way down.

Sunday 5/3/15:
East end of Hat Island Reef 25-30 foot VIS
Possession Wall (Fingers) 25-30 foot VIS

Anybody have any Redondo reports from the last day or two?
thx!

I went on Saturday night (5/2/15) and it was about 10 feet and did not really clear up much, even at 80 feet. I walked down to the fishing pier last night - and if anything, the bloom looks thicker yet at the surface.

Muk 5/11 sh#t sandwich above 30' but just fine under that to the boat 20' ish.

Deception Pass Sunday AM. Nasty fine suspension in the shallows with less than 10 feet. There were some waves so I thought maybe sand being kicked up. At depth it was better, 10=OK, 15=barely, 20=no buddy. Did not look like plankton, looked like river silt, but there has been no rain and the Skagit is running low. A buddy suggest that on very low snow pack years the glaciers melt faster and the ground up fine silt is sent down river at an even higher rate than a normal snow pack year. That makes some sense as Deception has been poor to lousy all spring.

35' vis in the Sitka channel...off shore im sure its 50'-80'....

Last night, at Mukilteo... the vis was 3-5 ft max, all the way down to 75ft. One diver said it was 5 ft at 90 ft depth.
There were lots of crabs and prawns out however.

Redondo hazy 5'-10' to 70'. Vis was better with no lights

Clay wall was pretty silty today, I'd say maybe 10ish feet of vis down to about 55fsw, but did clear up a little down below the wall.

Cove 2 is better today than it was just two days ago. About 15-20 feet. Not exactly clear though, some whale snot remains.

Viz at TTN last night was horrid, all the way down to 85' per my buddies

Anybody have viz reports for sights further up north? Keystone or Salt Creek?

Sund Rock: 5-21/22
ok on the top 15ft, lots of bloom/haze from 20-40ft. Opens up to ~10ft viz below that, but dark.
Lots of whale-snot in the water, and some bigger egg-yoke jellies starting to show up too.

Anyone in the Hoodsport area today (5/23)??
I'm planning on diving Mikes tomorrow and was curious as what to expect.

Thanks!

For anyone looking to do a gear rinse, Lake Cushman had decent water yesterday up toward the north end. 40ft or so of vis until you get below 60ffw, where it drops to about 15ft. Nice and toasty at 63F in the top 30ft! 47F below that.
