pnwdivingVisibility: A hazy 10-15 feet, <5 feet in the shallows (high tide)
We went to go check out the bull kelp, but the top 30fsw (where all the kelp is) were pea soup! Visibility opened up a bit below 30fsw, and it was sea pen city. Saw red octopus, a few sailfins, an old crab pot with a bunch of balloons floating above it (buoy with tons of plumose and feather duster worms), many crabs and flatfish.

Visibility: A hazy 15-20 feet, 10 feet in the shallows (outgoing tide)
Reef Check survey dives. Lots of understory kelp with a healthy layer of growing bull kelp maybe 50 yards from the high tide line. Fairly calm water with increasing shallow surge throughout the morning, but below 10 ft it was pretty minor. Saw various starfish, one huge white striped nudi, sea pens, plumose, some mating rock crabs, one bit spotted ratfish hanging out on the bottom, and a dozen or so flounders.
