Well...it was better than the forecasts, but not as good as last week. We dropped down on the East Pinnacle to find viz really chunky, at one point I thought I was diving in a giant, liquid tossed salad. There was just a ton of detritus mixed into the water column from the surge. After one lap around the pinnacle we'd had enough and headed West towards the other reef. In past dives we've seen some beautiful fish schools on the transit between the East and West pinnacles, but not today. Vis was generally better on the West-side, especially as we got deeper. The best viz was out past the West reef section in 55' of water where it was 20' or so.
Once again the gorgonians were sprouting everywhere and the kelp is trying to make a comeback: Instagram photo by J. Reeb • Aug 7, 2016 at 10:52pm UTC
Divemetrics: 75mins, 54'. (No Temp.)
