    It was good viz out to the culverts on New Year's Eve, then it went downhill. It was about 40 ft at Cedar Hill, Wiarton, on New Year's day.

    Hopefully the vis has remained good at Cedar Hill for two dives this Saturday. The nice warm forecasted weather should hopefully make sure it is not a slippery entry as well.

    Got one dive in at Cedar Hill on Saturday. When I arrive the surface was nice and calm and it was not too windy. There was a heck of a chop on the surface when I finally got in the water. I could not believe how clear the water was.....as in a vis of ~40-50 feet but very little of the usual particulate floating. I wish I had had my camera because it looked great. 39° on my Cobra and 40° on my N2ition.
