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

Dove SW of Clearwater Pass in 80 fsw. Calm winds and very smooth seas on the way out. Red tide fish kills evident from 3 mi to 15 mi out. Water was green/brown on the surface. After that water cleared out to dive sites with clear blue water on the surface with flying fish in 80 ft. Splashed in, horizontal viz was good, appx. 30 ft. Descending down anchor line hit green then brown cloudy water all the way to the bottom. Horizontal viz reduced to 15-20 ft. Large stinging jellies with 20 ft tentacles present near the surface upon ascent and at the safety stop. Thinking water quality and viz may be better to the north.
