Re: Sarasota viz report?

I was out wednesday in 40 ft and the vis was 30ft on top and then dropped to 10-15 on the bottom. I have no idea how it would be close to shore. Are you going to Point O Rocks? I used to dive that all the time back in HS.

Was at point of rocks last sunday and the water was actually really clear, we saw a bunch of sheepshead from the boat. Wish I had my gear we were just fishing.

Re: Sarasota viz report?

Thanks for the report. I'll be on that side of the state and was thinking about dragging my brother in law out for a beach dive off AMI. Weathers not looking good for Sunday but I still try to convince him in the morning.
