Excellent diving!

Visibility was 15 feet or better.  The current was slight, just enough to move any suspended particles out of the way.  Even when you stirred up the bottom it settled out quickly.

Good dives.

Date of Report: Apr 25, 2010
H20 Temp: 61Air Temp: 78Visibility in Feet: 6~8Current: moderate
Details: Dove Pepper's Sunday with good results.

Visibility varied but averaged about 6 to 8 feet. Though dark at depth the deeper holes were clearest. even down to the mid 30 foot range the vis and ambient light were enough to not require a light.

Current was mild to moderate all over. Below 30 feet it was very mild to non-existent. Elsewhere you could swim against it easily or tuck in behind a rock and just float.

Temperature was higher than expected. 61 degrees was the lowest temperature we found anywhere.

The Pool Is Open!
