Yesterday... was Tuesday... so Curt and I met for a dive as usual.
Viz has been horrible above 50' and I wasn't expecting it had changed... I was wrong... it was worse.
We went in at slack and after a short suface swim decided to descend and follow the bottom on down. Zero viz all the way.
Finding the bottom we followed it down to 84' where the viz opened up to 3 feet or so.
We were met by a strong current (this site has some unusual currents that do not correspond to tide tables.)
We continued to race across the bottom with the current dodging Lion's Manes for about 15 minutes until I finally thumbed the dive.
At the surface we swam toward shore and then decided to drop down to see if we could catch a counter current back to our point of entry.
It was only 5' deep, the viz was fairly good and there was no current.
We spent the next 15 minutes on the Five Foot Snorkel and had a great time watching all the little critters folks normally miss.
