You must've hit Redondo after the tide started going out ... we were there earlier (in the water about 9:20 AM) and vis was pretty good. Cheng found a large octopus sitting out in the open near the first boat (about 55 fsw) ... actually, she said it found her. She was taking a picture of a nudibranch and all of a sudden this five-foot long tentacle came snaking up underneath her. She turned around and almost swam into the thing ... :11:scubak:

The wife has a day off on Friday, and we thought we would maybe try EUP in the am. (Shes never been there).
As she is a new diver, I am concerned about the vis. conditions due to the intense rain lately. If anyone could provide a current vis report close to Friday for that area it would be greatly appreciated. (It is about a 45 minute drive, and we can dive West Seattle without traveling, if EUP is less than 10-15 ft).

I was down in Edmonds this morning, and expected the viz to be awful after all the rain, but it was typical Edmonds -- 10 to 15 feet. Might have been better had we gotten out a little further and a little deeper (training dive, never got out very far).

Thanks.
I think we'll keep that as our plan (unless I hear otherwise before Friday).

Seacrest Cove II on Friday night -
vis was extremely poor (just a few feet at times) due to runoff and lots of harbour seal activity.

Cove 2 on Saturday ... vis was somewhere between 4 and 10 feet, depending on depth.
It was perfect for my AOW class navigation dives ...
Sunday was a bit better, but still poor enough to make the Search and Recovery dive a meaningful experience ... :browsmile

Mukilteo yesterday (Monday). Vis was about 3 feet above 12 fsw (appeared to be plankton hanging in water), and then cleared to a whopping 7 +/-. Good for the AOW nav. class though.
Saturday at 64th and Alki (Junk Yard). Maybe 7-8' (if you squinted a little) that is until we got there. Then vis went down (just a little). That was my first experience assisting with an OW class (OW dives 1&2). We only had one instructor on hand so we had to try to hold the whole group together on dive 1. A lot of words for descriptions come to mind. (I think I was more stressed out than the new divers).

You and I have a different definition of "perfect", Bob . . . says the woman who was trying to do said nav dive standing on her head
Viz at the junkyard on Sunday was 10 to 15 feet -- much better than Cove 2 the day before, or so it seemed to me.
