Victoria Vis conditions?

[MarkH]

About 20 feet at the end of Grafton Road (Esquimalt).

I went again today and vis was down to about 15 feet.

I know it's not really in the Victoria area, but I went to Madrona Point and Dolphin beach today. Vis was less than 10 feet until I got down to 50 feet deep then it cleared up to 40 feet at Madrona and 30 feet at Dolphin.

I'll have the video up later today, but until then...
-2 octopus (in dens)
-1 wolfeel (usually I see at least 2)
-The usual yelloweye rockfish (always a highlight for me)
-3 Tiger rockfish
-All of the other fish (quillback, copper, lingcod, kelp greenlings, perch, tubesnouts, etc.
-That monster chimney sponge is still there
-feather stars (don't see them in Victoria)
-sea whips (again, never seen them in Victoria)
-The sandy slope at the top of the wall was covered with millions of tiny nudibranchs. They were spaced a few inches apart for about a 5 minute swim.

Hmmm didn't go diving but this afternoon saw the following at Ogden... One dead dear carcus spreading it's way through the food chain. Two classes below it doing basic skills and one very curious seal putting on one hell of a good show for the cruise ship guests...

All in all would of rather been in the water though! hah
