Victoria Vis conditions?

[MarkH]

A decent 20' in Enterprise Channel this morning. -Then the wind came up. About halfway through the dive I started to feel the surge and the visibility decreased. Is I neared the shore, the stirred-up visibility was too bad to swim through without banging into things so I surfaced and rode the breakers back to the bay.
It looks like the whole Victoria coastline is going to be stirred up from the wind today.

A nice 30' at the end of the Ogden Point breakwater this morning.

About 25-30' at the end of the Breakwater this morning.

Visibility started out pretty good today in Becher Bay. It was about 30' until suddenly a large cloud of stirred-up sediment flowed in from somewhere, dropping the visibility to 10' below 30' deep. I did a second dive nearby and visibility was 15'.

Dove at Tyee Cove this morning. Back to "cold water" reality after my trip to Cozumel. :depressed: Vis was about 40' at depth. Both wolf eels are in the den to the right, but I did not see the egg cluster that has been there for awhile.

We were at Maple Bay on Saturday and vis was crap. Less than 5' I would say. I think the technical term used by my friend was "diving in snot" and that about described it.

Ogden Point on Sunday though was great for vis, about 30'+

15-20' in Enterprise Channel (McMicking Point) this morning. The water is noticeably greener, maybe from all the sun lately. The bull kelp forest is coming up nicely.

Henderson Point vis was 20-30' in the top 40 feet, then it got snotty and progressively worse/darker.

15-20' in Enterprise Channel (McMicking Point) again this morning.
