Porpoise Bay Charters

Cloud Sponges & Juvenile Yelloweye!

 

We're hoping for some good diving and nice weather for hanging out outside with Kal & Ann.

 

Also, BBQs!

 

The vis this time of year varies. In 2022 and 2023 it was good, but it's a roll of the dice. Weather changes can increase the bloom. Vis should be better than Puget Sound or Hood Canal.
