I went to Catalina yesterday with Sport Chalet aboard the Great Escape. We did two dives near Indian Rock / Emerald Bay, and the last dive at Yellowtail Point. The visibility on all of the dives was about 50 ft., but with lots of particulates. Since it was also overcast macro not wide angle was the choice for the day. The water temperature was 57 °F.
