Today's diving visibility
Submitted by baron 88 on Sat, 2014-03-01 20:40
Hi guys just curious if any one else was out diving today, we went out from mindarie to try some new spots and found it was very surgey and visibility was terrible. Dived a few spots from 20m to some more sheltered 5m spots and was the same everywhere. I've been away for quite a while so not sure what the weather has been like leading up to today but didn't think it had been to bad. Manage a couple of crays so can't complain to much. Hoping rotto will be better tomorrow

poop
thursday 25 metre vis easy all around rotto.... today was crap, really crap at rotto especially northside. two weeks of swell under a metre then last night a 2.8m swell rolled turned it all to poop.Right now its still sitting at 2.2m on the DOT wave rider bouy. Doubt with how bad it was today there will be any improvement tomorrow. will take a few days with no swell to clear up and doesnt look like that will happen.

suprised!
Yea just got back from rotto.
Weird! passed overRoe yesterday and canned the dive with about a foot of vis and the swell standing right up on the reef, gone back today on the North East corner to almost 20metre's visability. Pilot reef and Jacksons rock was very dirty though today, looks like something has pushed it all east maybe. Awesome day on the water today too
