Conditions are pretty bad right now

The water is 84, 5 degrees warmer than last year. The bleaching is fairly bad, and at Cliff, lots of stuff is still covered in sand.

Just got back from Vista Blue, the viz was about 40 feet. But things weren't covered in sand, but a fair amount of dead coral.

Don't know what you are talking about. I'm here right now. It's not different than 2011 or 2013/14. Vis dropped in the last two days with a ton of wind. Lots of spawn in the water as well causing lower vis. Coral looks the same as previous with no noticible bleaching north or south. Healthy populations of hard and soft coral, bryozoans, etc. Tons and tons of small and mature fish. What are your creds?

I was here last year this week, as were 2 of the people I'm here with right now. The staff at both DFB locations we've been to are apologizing to everyone (without need, it's not like it's their fault) for the crappy conditions.
