Visibility was great at 10-Mile Pt. this morning. It was about 30', which is the best I've seen there in a while.

-About the same again this morning, but with lots of white bits that drifted in from somewhere.

Not that great at Daphne Islet (Saanich Inlet) this morning. Visibility was 6-10' in the shallows. At 40 feet deep it started to clear a bit to maybe 20-30' visibility. Deeper down (80-100') the visibility was back down to 10'.

6-15' at Hill Head (Sooke Basin) today.

Dove at Madrona Point last Tuesday (25th). Absolutely awesome visibility. Didn't even need the compass, as everything was by natural navigation. At the bottom of the big wall, you could see the ripples on the surface.

Yesterday (29th) we dove at Dolphin Beach. Water was brown down to about 30 feet and cleared up some at depth. Both dives were at high floods.

Hoping this sudden heat wave doesn't cause a massive plankton bloom killing all visibilty again.

Did you swim out or walk out to the new stairway?

Did you swim out or walk out to the new stairway?

I walked out and went down the new stairway. The only hassle was trying to force my way through all the tourists strolling on the breakwater.

Great visibility at Enterprise Channel this morning before the wind picked up. It was 30-40' (maybe up to 50' in places), which is the best I've ever seen there.
