May long weekend typically isn't too bad I've found but it really depends on the weather. If there is a lot of rain the viz can suck. Sometimes it's awesome, sometimes not so great. But typically I have had great conditions. Last time I was in diving in Vic the viz sucked so we got a charter out to Race Rocks area (further off the island) and it was EPIC! Like possibly one of the best dives I've ever done... mostly because of the sea lions. And because it was further away from the run-off it was crystal clear.
Another area to check out in the island is Browning Pass/God's Pocket. More of an epic journey to get there but it's rewarded with epic diving. God's Pocket might actually take the cake over many of the coral reefs I've been diving at.
