Travis Vis?

[oldschool]

What's the latest visability report for Lake Travis. I see the temperature is creeping up nicely. I'm going out Sunday afternoon (29th) with Lake Travis Scuba. Any swampers going?

Mack Diver and I were out at Mansfield yesterday. From the surface to about 20' is nice viz (~10+), between 20' and 50' it dropped to 5-10', at 50' it dropped to between a foot and a couple of feet. I've heard that viz opens up again very nicely at around 70' though.

I think Chris is being way too kind with his estimate of the viz at depth. Stephen and I were out there at Mansfield with them on Tuesday. At ~40' it became impossible to judge visibility because we couldn’t see anything ... nothing ... nada ... zip ... zilch ...

I turned the dive at 60 feet when I couldn’t read my compass because I couldn't see the hand I was holding it with. We never made it through the green milk layer because we couldn’t tell which direction we were going.

Above 40’ it warm and actually quite nice.

I think Chris is being way too kind...

I'm just that kind of guy.

The viz at WPP last weekend was pretty good (8 - 10 ft) from surface to 65ffw on Friday evening and early Saturday morning. Once classes started to hit the water it closed down to 3 - 4 ft. It improved a bit on Saturday evening and Sunday morning.
