I did a dive here in mid-July, 2005, but the visibility was only about 10' and since it was back in my film days, I didn't get any decent photos from my 24 exposures. I came back on Aug. 1, 2010 hoping for better visibility. Unfortunately it was still only 6-10'. It was a reasonable tidal-exchange day, the current atlas was showing only 1/4-knot and the Fulford Harbour tide table was flat, but the current around the point was too strong to swim against. It didn't help that my camera setup acted like a sail. My maximum depth here was about 45 feet. I couldn't make it to the wall, so I anchored myself in the sand and had a look at the surrounding boulders covered with cemented tube worm colonies. The current wasn't getting any better so I pulled myself along the sand back into the shelter of the bay where there were some sea pens and rocky reefs with urchins. I still had half my air left so I swam back along next to the trail into the next bay which was the site of an old steamship dock. The dock had been removed in the 60's, but I was hoping to find some old bottles or china. I followed the shore in the bay where the small-rock slope met the sand at about 10-15 feet deep. I didn't see a single man-made object in the area where the dock was supposed to be. The dock could have been in some other part of the bay (although I was diving near a sign describing the dock) or maybe the locals put all their bottles out on the curb on recycling day.
