Victoria Vis conditions?

I think it was less than that above the water today, during one of the snow squalls

15-20' at Ogden Point today. Walkway is pretty much clear except for some snow on the blocks. Very chilly out though.

About 50 feet up near Nanoose (Madrona/Cottam) today.

VIS at Senanus Island yesterday was 20-30 feet. Better above 60'. Looks like things are settling to the bottom.

About 30 feet at Willis Pt. today. That's a lot less than normal, but it was still pretty bright down there. I was going to try for Enterprise Channel, but because of the barge up on the rocks, it was quite a circus with tugs, news crews and sightseers swarming everywhere.

Happy New Year Mark, we try to do Willis yesterday but my buddy was driving his front wheel drive van and had problem on the snow, we were surprise that the area had 10 to 15 cm of new snow, so we went to the Breakwater instead and did a long dive. Hopefully we will have the chance to get together more often this year.

Cheers

When I went today, the road was mostly clear. It looked like they sanded it. The fire access trail to the water was still covered in crusty snow and the climb down the rocks at the end was partially covered in ice from the little stream. So what was the vis like at the Breakwater?

The usual winter viz of 10 to 15ft. We were 4 divers on CCR so we enter at #1 went right past the end inside the breakwater and all the way back, it was a pretty good dive lots of octopus and red rockfishes.
