Victoria Vis conditions?

A solid 40 feet or so at Willis Point today. There were lots of "bits" floating around, but it was still impressively bright at the bottom of the wall.

Wow. That went downhill fast.

Up at Madrona Point (Nanoose area) today, visibility was 6' or less in the shallows. There was a thermocline at 20'. Below that visibility was 15'. There was another thermocline at the top of the wall (60' deep). On the wall visibility was a dark and green 20' or so. I did a second dive in the Nanaimo River near the bungie jumping bridge. Visibility there was about 30'.
By the way, on my drive home I saw a big flatbed truck on the highway near Victoria. On it there were 2 submersibles (I'm assuming from Nuytco). One was torpedo-like and the other was like a big, round clear dome.
