Visibility was surprisingly bad today at Clover Point. it was maybe 3' near shore (couldn't see my fins and had to swim with my hand out so I wouldn't bump into anything). Out by the kelp it was around 6' and maybe 8' on the far side of the kelp. Far out from shore (60' deep) it improved slightly to around 10'.

Visibility at Henderson Point today wasn't great. It was 3' in the shallows. Below 25' deep it started to clear. At 60' deep, it was 20' and at 100' deep it was maybe 30'. There were lots of floating white bits at all depths.

Up in the Nanoose area today, visibility was 8-10' in the shallows at Dolphin Beach and another spot nearby. It cleared up at 55-65' deep to about 40-50' of visibility.

At Willis Pt. (Saanich Inlet) today, visibility was surprisingly very good. The top 10' were terrible (I couldn't see my knees), but then suddenly it cleared. At 30' deep, visibility was maybe 50' and down on the wall visibility was 50-80', but it was a little dark.

Approximately 5 feet in the shallows at Tyee today, but cleared up once you got below 60 feet. Nice to be back in the water after a prolonged absence....
