Guys and Girls, we have a planned dip in the sea for tomorrow out of Newhaven on MacD we dived Brighton pier Friday and did a drift along the coast after vis was an issue 1-2 meters in places, so i was wondering if anyone had been out this weekend and could recommend a site with reasonable depth and reasonable vis?

I will of course post a report after the dive tomorrow.

I took my rib out saturday off the east coast ( bridlington ) went out 15 miles in 30mtrs and got about half a mtr viz . maybe a bit early yet but hey a bad day at sea is better than a good day in a puddle !

Just been on the Mulberry today with Wittering Divers for a shakedown of a new drysuit.
Viz was fantastic,around 8M in places.But the Mulberry is in 10M of water.
It was a superb way to start off the season,albeit a chilly one with the water temp around 10C.One guy on the RIB was in a wetsuit,and seemed totally fine with the temp.
Heard reports of rubbish viz yesterday on 'The Teapot',around 1 M apparently.

We did two dives above 10 meters on Friday and the vis was 1-2 meters which is not great but compared to what we have been getting this year it wasn't that bad, wanted to drop down to somthing a little deeper tomorrow but we will have to wait and see.

West Wales had perfect diving weather, sea state smooth, not a breath of wind.....but crap vis

2m or so most sites.

We had about 6m viz yesterday.

I could see the whole of the dance platform at Wraysbury.

Nothing to do with the fact that there was only about 15 people there

We had about 6m viz yesterday.

Virtually 5m on the Persania in mid-channel (ish)

That is after we ditched our first site as they were dredging for aggregate there.

Seatown off the Beach Sunday - Vis about 5 metres! ( the best I have ever seen on this site).
