I'm surprised you didn't go around the point to the right from the boat ramp. Never been in the water there, but I would expect that with the sheer drop into the water you would get an OK wall dive and more life off the tip of the point. I do remember divers pulling an octopus up onto the beach (Willows beach that is) when I was a small child. This was many many years ago.

Grew up hanging out on that point, building forts, rafts, and later submarine races on that point. Brings back memories.

That's funny. My brothers and I grew up building forts and "surfing" driftwood in the Fraser river (none of us have kids yet so the geneticists can back off). The reason I chose the entry point I did is because, on the chart, that is where it is the "steepest" and deepest underwater ("deep" being over 10 meters).

By the way, because of all the storms here lately, most of the roads by the nearby beaches (McNeil Bay, Ross Bay) are covered with bits of driftwood, kelp and pebbles.
