Did a solo dive at Ogden Pt breakwater June 28th. Vis was awful. Like diving in split-pea soup. 5' at best, and dark like a night dive. One the upshot, did manage to shine the light on a plethora of nudis, that always makes me smile.

At Willis Point today, visibility was a decent 15' in the shallows. Below about 60' deep, visibility was around 30'. My max depth was 120'. There were lots of white particles floating around at the deeper depths.
Dove at the Tsartlip First Nation "Boat Ramp" on Saanich Inlet today for the first time, ever. Vis was 20' in the shallows between the boat ramp and the little point to the left of the ramp, and maybe 25' or so going deeper (max depth 100' today). No jellies to speak of, found a good size octopus in its den and more importantly ... 2 medium sized sunflower stars (hopefully they're starting to come back after the recent die-off).

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'.
