MUKILTEO Oil Dock

Viz was 20+ below 50fsw and very populated with finny friends.

We dove Edmonds this morning, and other than the fact that there was very little ocean in which to dive, we had a ball. Viz was probably 15 to 20 feet. We ran into multiple schools of juvenile fish -- tubesnouts, shiner perch, and something else I couldn't identify which flowed by in a massive river of silver. The eelgrass is still full of nudibranchs, and we saw many swimming hooded nudis. A lovely dive, and we had it all to ourselves!

Viz tonight was pretty good -- 25-30' I'd say. We did a really nice relaxing dive at Alki -- no big life, but there was beautiful bright yellow hooded nudi just swimming around that Laura got some nice footage of. The phosphorescence was out of this world, so we killed the HIDs and just relaxed on the safety stop in the dark. All in all a great dive.

Thanks for the report Scott. I imagine Bob isn't too happy to hear about the good viz, we're doing the NW Grateful Diver AOW mid-water navigation torture dive tomorrow early, and he said in an off-handed way that it is a bit "too easy" when the viz is good . . .

Maybe you all can go out and silt the hell out of the place before we dive tomorrow in the morning.

I, for one, will take good viz when I can get it. The phosphorescence sounds awesome too, we'll be night diving Sunday, and now I'm really looking forward to that.

Harper Dock-
We bobbled around in 7-15' of water for 53 minutes playing with buoyancy and trim but still had a very entertaining time.
No fishermen so we got full run of both sides and under the dock. Very cool.
Not much water (I think we saw 16fsw at the deepest) due to tide.
Vis was 15'
Perch, lingcod, a lonely nudi, variety of small fish, and the usual semi-permanant residents. There's an octo in one of the hollowed out logs right now, but he was occupado while we were there.

The prize of the day was a crab measurement tool in cerulean blue. A 1.99 value!

I think we are going to try for Friday at harper after teen camp, and then Saturday at Sund.

Hooded nudis are cool ...

Huh, we practiced, and that one was still hard. We had dreadful viz, but I imagine that we would have done badly even with perfect viz. It's even harder than it sounds.
