Otter:We did two dives....the first right at high tide. Made the swim out to the orange buoy (thought it was white when last I dived there for the Wrinkles Oct(?) Dive). Dropped down and viz was probably 10-15. Swam to canyon and went down to 95 and did our skills. Viz was still pretty good. Swam back in and at times, it pushed 20'...but as we got closer to shore, it dropped fast. There was soo much junk in the water (tons o'kelp parts) that viz was probably 3-5'. Waves were not an issue.
Second dive, pretty much went out to the same area and encountered similar conditions even though the tide had gone way out (due to the gentle slope).
I have to ask, we say 5-6 rays and to 2'-3' Halibut. Not much else, what is the attraction to the shores? There must be more deeper?
Thanks for the info Sean.
