At Yarrow Point (Saanich Inlet) today, visibility was around 20' from the shallows down to my max depth at around 80' deep.

In the Yarrow Point area again today (Dyer Rocks), visibility was 20' in the shallows and 40' or so below 30' deep.

Visibility was 15-20' at French Beach today.
Visibility was about 20 to 30 feet at Tyee Cove last night.
Had to get below 50 for anything good, but it got a bit better the deeper we went.

Madronna yesterday morning (1000) was about 30 feet in the ebb at 90 feet, shallows was a lot worse. A lot of chunks floating around in the water
Tyee yesterday afternoon (1300) was maybe 20 at best on the flood in the shallows, At 150 it was about 30. Glad to hear it cleared up a bit later in the day at Tyee.

I suffer from fat finger syndrome and a tiny keyboard on an iPhone. So I apologize for the typos and misspellings.

6-10' in the shallows today at Yarrow Point (Saanich Inlet). It gradually cleared as I went deeper. Below 60' deep, visibility was about 40'.
Took an Open Water class to Henderson this morning (July 19/15) for 1st ocean dive.....big mistake. 1-3' vis in the top 40'. Didn't go any deeper. Didn't bother trying to conduct Dive #2.

Visibility was pretty devastating up at the entrance to Chemainus harbour today as well. It was a decent 10' at the surface, but below 10' deep, visibility was "can barely see my knees" 3' or so. It gradually cleared to 8-10' below 60' deep, but it was dark of course.
July 25 - Henderson Point - Vis has cleared up quite a bit. Open water class had 15-20' vis all day today. Not stellar, but infinitely better than we had last week and better than I was expecting.
July 26 - After looking at Spring Bay and deciding the water was far too inky-green to even bother with we went to Ogden Point Breakwater where vis wasn't great 5-10' but manageable. Opted not to do a second dive when the thunder / lightning storm rolled in.
