Vis

[MXGratefulDiver]

Yeah, was thinking maybe this fall...which sux, because I love the diving in the Canal. Well, heres hoping Redondo vis will be decent this weekend, got a friend and a son coming up to dive with me.

Actually, the northern parts of the canal have had quite good vis recently ... it's the south part that seems to have suffered from all the silting created by the winter floods ...

We dove Hood Canal last weekend, Mike's Beach. Vis was awful 2', between 12 - 50 feet. Under that, not bad, but night dive-like conditions.

Bob, any good suggestions for shore diving in North Hood Canal?

 

[MXGratefulDiver]

No ... I dive that part by boat ...

Pt. Whitney at the Shellfish lab is a good northern Hood Canal dive site. But you'll probably do better to go out with Don & Diane on Pacific Adventures.

Vis at Seacrest Park tonight was variable. Above 40 feet it was terrible ... 4 to 6 feet or so. Between 40 and 70 it wasn't bad ... 10-15. Below 70 feet it got better ... at 110 it was pretty darn good, though dark.

We scootered from Cove 2 past Cove 3 past the boat launch and around the point where Luna Park used to be. Not much to see other than a few bewildered rat fish ... but it was a nice excuse to get out on the zoom toys and blow a few bubbles ...

Pac Adventures stays pretty full...have yet to dive with them. They evidently do a great business!

It's a lovely boat, and Don's a great skipper. I can't wait to get out there again. One of my buddies keeps promising me that there are SCHOOLS of vermilion rockfish on the pinnacle.

Was up to Neah Bay over the three day weekend for some free diving. Had 20 to 30 plus vis had a great time in the kelp beds and along the shore line during high tides. Saw all the normal fish and decorator crabs. High light of the weekend two yellow nudibranches about 4 inches long in about 4 feet of water on top of some large smooth rocks about 20 feet from shore. Kept me wondering what where they going to do when the tide goes out.
