We just returned and the winds were stronger this trip which caused the vis to be less than normal. I would say it was around 50' on most dives, some sites it was considerably less. We also encountered some fairly strong currents at Vista Blue. Also at Tori's Reef we encountered a helo inversion where the salt water from the salt ponds was being emptied and because it was heavier than the salt water in the ocean it "sunk" and caused the vis to be less than 10'. There appeared to be an oily substance in the water. We dove out of Buddy and they were GREAT.
