Two friends and I dove Van Damme in Mendocino yesterday Tues for abs and spear fishing. Visibility was poor at about 3 feet. We still had fun though and all got our ab limits :smt001. Wind picked up around noon at about 5 - 10 mph out of the NW.

That kind of vis up there this time of year is kinda unusual, unless it was kicked up stuff, or was  it a bloom of some sort?

Love Van Damme, there a lifetime of diving to be had within a mile of the launch.

I think it was stuff kicked up because there was like a 6 - 10 foot swell in the water. I agree, Van Damme is really nice place with lots of potential.
