What's the latest on Catalina conditions?

We're headed out to the dive park to get our first dives of the year. Anyone seen or heard of the dive conditions out there?

Doc?

Is the tank trailer there this time of year?

The trailer is there and will be open this weekend (Easter).

I haven't dived the park in ages, but the last report I got (Wed) was visibility in the 40 ft range with flat condirtions. Of course the rain storm just came through. That will affect vis if there was any real runoff. Winds were minimal so it shouldn't be too stirred up.

I'm diving off the King Neptune these days although I miss the socializing at the park. Will do more diving there this summer.

I was there this weekend (got my AOW this weekend)...

Bottom temp was about 59 degrees. Current varied, but was somewhat choppy this AM and then leveled out by about noon. Skies were clear and Visability was about 60'.....we had 5 great dives!!!!

Did three dives yesterday but not at the Park. Vis looked good in the harbor area and was up to 50-60' at the sites we dove (Ship Rock, Isthmus Reef and Torqua Springs). Haven't downloaded my computer yet so I don't know temps, etc.
