Victoria Vis conditions?

[MarkH]

Visibility was not bad at Daphne Islet (Brentwood Bay, Saanich Inlet) today. It was a nice 20' in the shallows. It then got a bit worse down to 60' deep. Below that, visibility was 30-40'.

About 8' today at Cranford Park (Near Spring Bay/UVic).

Sat.Aug.8 Willis Point. 5-15' in the top 60. Looked like it would have been better had we gone deeper. There's a pretty dense layer of plankton from 20-45', definitely take a light.

Vis at Ogden Point was a pleasant 15' or so today (Aug 11). Expected worse from previous reports. A little cloudy in places, but very manageable.

The Strait of Juan de Fuca is still murkier than normal. Visibility was 10-15' at Possession Point today.

Visibility was pretty good up at Nanaimo today. Near Rocky Point Park, visibility was 20' in the shallows and 40-50' at the base of the slope 45-60' deep. At Finn Beach it wasn't quite as good, but still pretty decent (10-15' in the shallows and 30' below 30' deep).

Dove at Dolphin Beach a couple of days ago. Soupy in the shallows, but much better once we went over the wall at about 60 feet. Visibility on the big wall was 30 - 40 feet - better as you went deeper.

Dove at Tyee yesterday. Best visibility I have seen since late winter / early spring. A good 50 feet at depth - great when the sun was out almost directly above us.

Pretty good in the Strait of Juan de Fuca today. This morning, visibility was 30-40' at Swordfish Island and about the same in the afternoon at Christopher Point.
