6/5 - Gunrock report
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After paying $7 to part at Kelly's parking lot - my buddy and I started the long kick out from the second set of stairs (the first set was still out after being pulled for a storm) toward the breakwater. On the way over the vis appeared pretty good. However after we descended at the breakwater, the vis turned out to be pretty bad (5-7'), we swam about 3/4 of the lenght of the jetty (max depth 30' - it was high tide) and turned around. The water temp was around 50degs at depth. I saw several keeper bugs, but I wasn't hunting. After 5 years and a couple hundred rec dives in NE - I still hate low vis. Unless it's a mission oriented dive, I don't enjoy diving in vis of less than 10' - it's just too stressful. Days like this made me wish I lived in FL.
