I did two dives here on Oct. 21, 2010. Visibility was about 40 feet. On my first dive I tried following the wall below the entry point out towards the point, but the current was really ripping. I timed the dive according to the Sooke tide table and the Juan de Fuca (East) current table. They both seemed to be the exact opposite (one was changing to flood while the other showed a change to ebb), but they both agreed on the time for slack. The current was actually the strongest I've felt here so far so I clawed my way back to the current-free kelp forest in the bay near the entry-point. I wasn't too upset since it was an excellent dive anyway. Under the kelp, it was like swimming through a huge dark room. In the good visibility, I could see reefs, small walls and narrow canyons dotted with Puget Sound king crabs and clusters of fish-eating anemones. All of this was 20-40 feet deep. For my second dive, I was going to have another look at the kelp forest, but the current was slowing down so I swam past the strawberry anemones out to the walls around the islet off the point. It was impressive being able to see both walls of the canyon as I swam through it. As I started my return swim, a Steller's sealion shot down and followed me all the way back. As I climbed out of the water, I could see it sticking up it's head looking for me. Half-way up the trail, I looked back and saw a group of about 5 of them splashing around where I had just been diving.
