Never waste a north wind so off to Kings Beach I went to KB in search of good visibility and I found it, in the shallows. Partly cloudy light NW winds small rollers, surface temp 70F bot temp 65 max depth 25FSW BT 37min, vis 15FSW with small suspend particles. There was quite the storm there Tue. trees and branches down everywhere. so that was probably runoff. No suspended seaweed floating around anyway.

Used the double hose and the new banjo fitting with a era USD SPG gauge. Started the dive with 3300PSI of air, I don't remember the last time I started with even 3000psi, 1st dive with a tank filled with my compressor.
There wasn't much to see but after running into murkiness at 25FSW I turned back to the 15' range where the vis was better and it mostly small fish.
