Oak Bay Marina

Oak Bay Marina is a border and Customs check in point (phone box only) located at the fuel dock.

The Oak Bay Marina was home to the Pacific Undersea Gardens opened in 1964 and later relocated to Victoria's inner harbour in 1969, where it operated until its closure on October 17, 2013.

Conditions for both whales and staff at the marina were widely criticized, and there were repeated calls to have the aquarium closed.

The protests culminated in 1991, when one of the captured whales drowned a 20 year old trainer, Keltie Byrne, who had fallen into the pool.

The large whale sculpture at the front of the Oak Bay Marina is dedicated to Dr. Clifford Carl, Director of the British Columbia Provincial Museum.
