A little experiment ... After successfully coaxing my wife into going, we arrived around 2:45; warm, sunny, the water looked great from shore ... everything seemed perfect, until about 3, when I hit the water, put my head down to get my fins on, and realized "Sh=t, zero vis ... WTF??"
Figured that things might get better a little further out, but no such luck(guess that 12mi SSE breeze and the guy playing with his two big dogs in the shallows across the channel didn't exactly help). On the way, two Rays, neither of them kind enough to hang out for some pics.
Next thing, I run head-on into a big Barracuda, lying in wait(facing the other way, could only see about 2/3rds of it). Considering the conditions, I decided it might be better not to try a close approach.
About 20min in, we figured it may best to call it a day, and started heading toward shore, when I saw Ray #3 ...
One hour of driving, 20min in the water ... still worth it!!

ooook.. maybe I don't really want to do that solo dive tomorrow..
Due to bobbit worms, or low tide vis?
low vis..
slept in.. maybe later this week I will make it.

In case you're going by the pics, I photochopped the hell outta those, just for fun ... the real thing was a lot worse.
yeah, that's what I assumed.. worse than it looked...
sigh.. didn't know that.. too late now... and can't go tomorrow morning.. drat.

Went last night.
Decent vis, temp down to 79 which sounds warm but had my teeth rattling 20 minutes later.
By the 2.5 hour mark I was shaking too hard for good video. Dusting off the 5 mil before next dive.
Our glacial pace costs body heat. Found some cool critters and will try to post some pictures later.
