Re: Current Vis - Tampa Bay Region (Homosassa to Sarasota)

Thermocline may have been starting in 65' where you were at. Our viz in Middlegrounds was pretty good on the bottom. About 20'. Above the thermocline it was flat calm and crystal clear. 0-60' crystal, 60-80 murk layer and thermocline. From 86 degrees to 82 degrees. Under 80, could see fine.

Re: Current Vis - Tampa Bay Region (Homosassa to Sarasota)

Vis in 30-45’ W off Anclote was 20’ or better today. Water temp in upper 60’s. Plenty of gags. The fog never lifted.

Re: Current Vis - Tampa Bay Region (Homosassa to Sarasota)

Vis was not good in 110' off clearwater. Improved in same depth and shallower further north. Limited on ARS, gags, and hogs.

Re: Current Vis - Tampa Bay Region (Homosassa to Sarasota)

Vis was 10ft off Tarpon and Hudson yesterday. It was cleaner north and deeper in 50', It was fishier in the dirty water. Fingers crossed we get a better window before the new year!

Re: Current Vis - Tampa Bay Region (Homosassa to Sarasota)

Well, it’s gonna blow 35 plus this weekend so the Vis is likely to get worse before it gets better. This arctic front will drop air temps into the high 20’s north of Tampa Bay and possibly produce some snow flurries. Water temps will likely drop the water tempt into the low 60’s.

Re: Current Vis - Tampa Bay Region (Homosassa to Sarasota)

Last dive of the year for us yesterday. W of Anclote in 50 was great vis. It turned bad in 35'. We went a bit further south and it was fishy here and there with spotty visibility. Gags were holed up. Temp 61 degrees. Cheers to 2023!
