What is the condition at CSSP?

[SPlainsDiver]

Hi! A friend and I are going to dive CSSP for the first time this Saturday (8/20). What is the condition and visibility like right now - above and under the thermocline? Any suggestion and tips for having some good dives out there?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Huey,
I was out there on Sunday. Vis ranged from 10-15' down by the airplane to around 10' near the shark and of course less where the students had been. The thermocline was at about 32' and in most places, below it everthing was a brown color, with lots of particles floating around. Over near the wall along the southeast side, it was actually a bit better. The temps ranged from 85 on the surface to 80 at 32'. I didn't go down into the thermocline much since the vis was not worth it.

There are hundreds of small fish, less than an inch long, around the shark. Interesting to swim thru them.
