Dove at Oak Point early last evening. Visibility never cleared until about 80 - 90 feet, but by then it had become a night dive 
Tide was a high flood.

A decent-enough 20' at the end of the Ogden Point breakwater today.
About 30 feet of visibility at Tyee this morning once we got below about 50 feet of depth.
Hope things start clearing up for the better soon...

Visibility was great up near Ladysmith today. The shallows were pretty murky, but below 10' deep, it cleared to about 40' of visibility. The dogfish sharks have arrived (I usually don't see them before July). I saw about 10 of them today, which is by far the most I've seen anywhere.

Had a very nice dive at Orlebar Point on Gabriola Island today. Visibility was the expected 8-10' in the shallows, but below 30' deep, visibility opened up to at least 50'.
Dove Madrona last night. Sky was overcast. About 30 feet of visibility once we got below the 50 foot mark. Still soupy in the shallows.

Great vis at Madrona this morning. 20 feet in the shallows and a good 50 plus on the big wall. It was a great dive

Today, visibility at the Ogden Point breakwater started out great (a bright 30' or so). About 1/3 of the way through the dive, I hear a loud boat engine and then suddenly a wall of sediment swept into me. The current came out of nowhere and was flowing straight into the breakwater. At first I thought a fishing boat was dragging a cannon ball across the bottom, but that wouldn't explain the current. It was almost like a cruise ship was coming in, but after the dive I didn't see any. The current soon stopped, but the stirred-up visibility (now only about 10') stayed for the entire dive along the breakwater at all depths.
Much better vis at Oak Point last night, compared to the previous dive a couple of weeks ago. Vis cleared up at about 40 feet, and vis was a good 40 feet making for an enjoyable dive.

Visibility was decent (maybe 20') in the shallows today at the Chemainus drydock wrecks, but below 25' deep, visibility dropped to a brownish 6-8'.
