Viz was horrendous couldent see 3 ft got in and right back out , dumped the tank and did a weight check before exiting , down another 4 #s yay

We didnt even get in after hearing how bad it was from the other divers! Least flags I have ever seen during a high tide!

Was there.....yech. Viz was maybe 4 feet in the good spots.and not many good spots...and then dropped to almost zilch. What was cool was the unusually high tide's making it look like the folks on the concrete footings were walking on water....

As a side event the two young fellows geared up with polespears to fish under the bridge were met by FWC at the waterline and discussion (and perhaps some enlightenment) ensued.

I'm getting old, lazy, and maybe a little mean....I was willing to let Darwin have his way in the natural course of events (two dummies, two polespears, zero viz), but better people than I interceded. Kudos to FWC.

Did get to spend the extra time with some new friends just sitting by the car and chatting.

Low vis high tides seem early this year. Usually not getting reports as this for another few weeks. I recall a particular Halloween dive where vis was inches. Thankfully it clears pretty quickly and by the Thanksgiving Troll dive, vis is OK.

Yeah the tide was the highest I have seen. The people planning on sleeping on the beach under the bridge had to move their stuff, and some of the boat launch docks were under water!

 

[Scuba_Jenny]

Wow! that is high!

As if you would show up at the bridge to actually dive without a class, or for pleasure...?

Oh no - only to nap!
