The visibility at Morrison is not fantastic. If it holds where it is (doubtful, scroll down for river graph) checkout dives will not be horrible. There has been quite a bit of rain this week and the water is up to the metal picnic tables and somewhat tannic, although not really cloudy like if there was muddy river water back-flowing.
We got a comment on the Click HERE to Post Current Conditions page that says the vis is about 12′!
That is consistent with what I observed around 6:30 this morning. I also saw a small turtle (not sure if it was a cooter or a slider, it had yellow on its head though) and there is a bit of an oil slick and a lot of debris on the surface of Morrison. Due to the oil slick I was not about to put my phone or any part of my person in the water, so no underwater pics today.
It is misty again this morning and will probably stay that way since we are supposed to have more rain.
I don’t think the visibility is going to improve at all this weekend due to the projected river graph:
Good luck to the SCUBAs doing check-out dives this weekend!
PS. The yellow flies are getting annoying. Keep in mind that they are attracted to dark-colored clothes.
