Will be in Victoria on Saturday late AM/Noon and would like to dive the breakwater - have not been for many years. (Really wanted to go to Race, but the boat is full:sad_2: )

Anyone interested?

TURTLES TURTLES RA RA RA TURTLES TURTLES HA HA HA MMM.....I LOVE TURTLES

On a side note:

That was the very first thing I saw when I learned to dive. We broke the surface on our first OW dive, I looked up, and there a turtle swam by.

Too bad I was too nervous to really enjoy it at the moment.

Oh yeah, I'd post outside the "Southern BC Spyhoppers" section to get noticed, as it seems that few Victorians look here...

I did not know we had turtles in our colder waters.

I kinda figured he learned in the tropics - too bad we don't have salt water turtles up here though.

Who doesn't learn in the tropics?

Who the hell feels compelled to jump in our frigid waters without prior experience? There's something about 20degree water, 100+ft viz, and LOTS of colour that is a weeeeeeeee bit more enticing to a beginner.

Your forgetting the enticing experience of being wrapped in two layers of thick rubber, the excellent workout you get carrying 35# of lead back and forth to the beach, the exhilarating rush you get when the water hits your forehead doing mask removal drills and my favorite the 6 foot vis during spring rains.

Who wouldn't want to learn up here????

Wrapped in rubber, cold, with zero vis, who could resist. I can go with you on Sat.

Excellent, looking forward to returning to the scene of the crime (first OW dive).

I'll probably be exploring a bit more in Enterprise Channel. If the current is going the right way, I might end up drifting by you guys at the breakwater.
