Victoria Vis conditions?

[Hyper-limits]

Anybody been in the water around Spring Bay / Ten Mile Point in the last week or so? Vis was 10-15' about three weeks ago, just wondering if it's improved?

My experience of diving Spring Bay or Ten mile if you get 25ft you lucky. Once or twice I've seen 40ft at TM but it's rare.

We did a nice 60 mins dive at the Breakwater tonight, viz was about 25ft, saw tons of rockfishes and one octopus swimming around.

Pretty nasty at Willis Pt. today. Vis was around 6' in the shallows. It cleared up a bit below 30', but even though I went well below 100 feet deep (testing a camera housing), vis was still only around 10-15' there and of course it was like a night dive. I don't know what's going on with the Inlet lately. It's like it's May or something.

We did a nice 90 minutes dive at Willis PT yesterday morning and the viz was around 40-50ft under surface layer(top 20ft), under 100ft it got cloudy again but was still not that bad at 20ft. We saw two stubby squids, I've been seeing a lot of them lately all above 100ft. But you right the viz for this time of the year as not been as good as usual. Maybe that mean that we will get 70+ft during the summer like last year.
