Our Club was diving Kingston area back in mid-August and the viz was terrible. 5-10 feet at best on the Marsh, Munson, Aloha, and Wolfe Islander II. It was a shame too, because water temps were pretty comfortable.
It appeared to be some kind of algae bloom like I've never seen before.
I've since heard mixed opinions on whether or not it is clearing up as things cool down. One story was that charters were being cancelled because the algae was so bad that people were feeling irritation on exposed skin!
We're planning a charter (from Wolfe Island) in 2 weeks and wonder if anyone can update the conditions.
Thanks.....
