One thing I have been noticing as far as visibility has been going in Laguna is that you need to get out deeper than 45' or so to get any decent vis.
Last Sunday I dove Deadmans and had a good 15' but that was in the 65-70' range.
On Wednesday I did a dive at Pinnacles at Crescent Bay (max depth 41') and had 10-12' but it was murky and somewhat green.
On the deeper dives, you could see the difference in the visibility as you dropped down through the green soup to clearer water. There is also a very noticeable thermocline past 45' or so. The green water is a bit warmer, about 56-58 degrees, where the clearer water is in the 53-55 degree range.
The moral of the story, I guess, is to get deeper for better diving.
I could be wrong though. Conditions change and I'm rambling!
Have fun.
See some of you on Sunday.
