My roommate just showed me this post on spearboard about high levels of bacteria in the bay from sewage run off from the flood.

Sorry to be slightly off topic, but how is the diving there normally?

Old news. The water in the Bay is completely exchanged every 3 tides changes. That was from the rain 2 weeks ago. All the beaches are open. I've dived 3 times since the flood.

Thanks for the heads up! I'm planning on diving that very spot after the clenup. Nice spot by the way. I WILL CUT THAT INTO VERY SMALL PIECES. I had to cut someone out of one years ago and its not fun especially in a current. I also thought it was illegal. I dive that spot at night, you think they're hard to see during the day try spotting one at night. You may have saved my life. If I had solo'd there at night without knowing about it well who knows. Thanks again. Every diver that runs across one, my advice is to cut it up and set the markers adrift. If they keep losing them maybe eventually they'll stop setting them. Damn things are dangerous.
