We were out there all weekend. Visibility ranged from 8-20', depending on depth. We still had decent visibility at 60', 20' in the shallows. This was actually on the south side of Desert Tortoise over by Two Cow. On the north side, the visibility was less than 5'. Water levels are getting lower. My estimation is the water is about where it was last October. The sink holes near burro island are accessible if you don't mind a little walk. The land there hasn't been exposed long enough to drive to that area yet. Give it another couple of weeks. Water temperature was 85 degrees to the thermocline at 34'. Below the thermocline it was 67 degrees. Visibility dropped down over the course of the weekend, but we did have some rain coming down. Saturday, it was still in the 10' range to the south of DT. Sunday, it was 10' above 18'. Below 18' it was nothing but that white cloudy murk. Surprisingly, there wasn't a thermocline there.
It was a good weekend of diving and teaching. We were able to finish up a few courses and complete a Rescue course. We had a lot of fun and even got in a non-training dive at the end of the weekend. This was our last time in Lake Pleasant for about a year. We're off to N. Florida for constant visibility and water temperature!
