I stopped by here again on my way up to the Nanoose area on Nov. 13, 2008 to see if the visibility would convince me to do a dive. It looked great on the surface so I swam across the channel to the end of the island near the dock. I'm glad my drysuit leaks because I was starting to get pretty warm during the surface swim. Looking down, I could see the bottom 20-30 feet below me. When I descended, visibility was at least 30-40 feet for the entire dive. That's not bad considering most of my time was spent 15-40 feet deep. It was easy to appreciate the topography in the clear water. When I swam out from the wall, there were clouds of moon jellyfish stretching out into the channel. A rowboat was sunk under the deep end of the dock. An hour wasn't enough for this place. It's too bad the surface-swim/stairway to heaven restricts my ambition to do more than one dive at a time here.
