Hi - I assume the "Rick" is me, since I live up in Vancouver. :-)
Betty Pratt Johnson wrote a couple of books on diving in the area. She's got loads of very useful dive info. Ask for "141 Dives". It's not her most current book but it's a valuable start.
Unlike Florida or the Caribbean, our vis up here is usually best in the winter. It gets up well over a hundred feet in some areas. I've never dived the Straight so I can't say personally. One area with great vis is Campbell River and
surrounding areas.
