Ore B Gone

[flyboy65]

Dove three dives Sunday at Ore B Gone.  First one was out to the bus.  Found the bus, viz wasn't very good...maybe 15 feet or so.  Started back along the bay to the boat launch.  Viz got so bad, you couldn't even look down and see your fins!  Some of it was milky, and another area it was particulates being blown from the other side of the pit.  I've NEVER seen it that poor up there.

Second dive was off the beach area...quite the drop off going in.  Viz, once again was around 15' all the way down to 60 feet or so...it just never got better...found the skeleton, the boat, the speeder.

Third dive, we went to the plane out from the beach area, and back tracked a couple of times...compasses don't work well over there...ended up in 100', and the viz was finally decent....30' or so, albeit cold...41 degrees.  Oh, 71 on the surface!

The lack of ground water coming in, or the lowering of the water table in that area has to be contributing to the bad viz...and I'm sure the fish habitat has changed dramatically for them fishies, too!
