Today's McKenzie Bight (Saanich Inlet) photos

[MarkH]

From this morning with Hyperlimits and Subcookie. Visibility was excellent. -Probably the best I've seen this year. As you can see there isn't much stuff growing on the rocks, but the topography can be quite dramatic when it's clear. I added the photos to the bottom of the page:mckenziebight2

Love that composite pic. It does not give a true perspective of how big that rock really is though, should place Al behind it.

I wished there were some divers in that photo, but I turned around early (I still use a primitive Al80) and was by myself. Al and Richard caught up with me again towards the end of the dive, but by the I'd forgotten to try to take another photo. I'll have to try to take some more during future dives with some point of reference for scale.

Two buddies and I were there early Saturday morning. We were just returning from seeing the Cloud Sponge and were at about 77 feet when we had a sea lion come and check us out. I have never seen one there and was not expecting it so it gave me a bit of a surprise.

It seemed about 8-10 feet long - perhaps a male Stellar's.

We had the same thing happen to us last year at Xmas PT, the sea lion was just to fast for Mark to take a picture.
