    Default emerald

    Anyone been by emerald recently? Heading that way tomorrow. Had Eagles Nest plans but not sure whether it's open or not.

    Last I heard, EN is still open. I would still like to hear Emerald conditions.

    I stopped by Emerald and Cheryl on my way home yesterday. The water, from the surface, is dark/clear/tannic. I would guess it is divable, maybe 10-15 foot vis. I will jump in Saturday and find out.

    Hi John, Did you dive it Saturday? Looked clear to me on Thursday and I could see down at least 15 ft in Cheryl. Bill

    Water was still tannic, with 15-20 feet max vis and lots of particulate, percolation . I would give it a couple of more weeks.
