I came back to dive Enterprise Channel on a sunny, breezy day (April 8, 2010).  Despite the surge that I could feel even 50 feet deep, visibility was about 20 feet. The current table for Race Passage showed a small flooding current for a few hours so I figured it would be fine here, but it was actually as strong as usual. I hid on the sheltered side of the boulder reef and drifted towards the end (the current was flowing over the reef and then running straight out along the reef and into the channel). Back in the shallow surge-swept area near shore I saw piles of lures and spark plugs sticking out of the sand left by people that think it's a good idea to fish in a jagged, rocky area covered with kelp.
