Are coming down from Plano either Sunday or Monday, we haven't decided yet. Would love to plan something if we can!
Not sure if CSSP is open Labor Day or not, it is generally closed on Mondays, so to be safe, I say we shoot for Sunday (we dove last Sunday, got there just after they opened and it worked out well, was home by 1pm, although this weekend I'd like to get 2 full tanks in rather than just 1)

I was there Friday and spoke with Cayetano and he said they WILL be open on Monday.
The vis is very poor right now and unless you are up along the banks, on the bottom, or up close to something you will be swimming in pea soup.
The algae is in full bloom and I saw strands of it out in the middle that were upto 2 ft. long just floating along doing what algae does best.

Hmmm, the algae thing is a bummer. I would like to dive early Monday if possible. I am coming from the Grapevine area.
I'm sure glad we decided not to come up there this weekend! I want to remember the excellent viz we had a few weeks ago.

Conditions at CSSP were pretty good.
I was working as DM for an OW class, so I didn't explore too much, and stayed above the first thermocline most of the time, but here's what I experienced:
Thermocline: 27-28 ffw, moderately cooler, but not the "ice cooler over the head" that the deeper one is. Temp above the thermcline was a comfy 80-85 degrees per my computer. I started the diving in my 5/3 full suit, but was a bit too warm, so I switched to my 1.5 skin and was still comfortable.
Vis: 15 feet. Like SeaHunt said, it was a very green cast, but still diveable.
We were operating at the ladder just past the "American Eagle" plane fuselage and the new platform that is straight out from that (between the small boat and Cisco).
That's a place that I like to setup. Close to the fill station and u/w attractions, and better yet, in the shade trees.
