Hit the Ruby E first...
and had 50' to maybe even 80' feet of viz, no joke! We
could see the whole ship from end to end hangin on the
line, lots of life as well including a seal playing around.

We then went to the NOSC Tower, had 30' to 50' of viz
there, wish we could have been there sooner before the
turn of the tides. Still the whole tower could be seen
from a distance, the only down side was the choppy
surface and a little wind.

I just found out about the death of a diver on Saturday
diving the Yukon, it's always difficult hearing of a death
like this! People need to pay close attention to this sport
and keep an eye on each other, too many people treat this
as if it was a walk in the park. I feel for the captain of
the dive boat and family of the diver, I sure hope this
tragedy stays in the minds of others in a way of helping
others in the future! Dive safe!!!

:willy_nilly: awesome diving, visibility insane, one of the best dives we did in ruby E,Jeff and I already have made over 50 dives together, our first rule is security, why risk it? any diver who says "I'm very professional" is the first to jeopardize the own life, title does not mean anything at all,nobody play with the ocean.unfortunately we hear sad news like this.:(

Glad to hear the vis is improving. Sad to hear about the diver, my thoughts are with his family and the skipper. That boat and her crew will continue to be my first choice.
