Pacific Undersea Gardens

The Pacific Undersea Gardens was a 150-foot (45 m) vessel that was towed from the Oak Bay Marina to the waters of the Inner Harbour.

Visitors descended 15 feet (4.5 m) beneath the ocean surface to look through the many viewing windows of the aquariums that surrounded the vessel and see the various marine life of coastal British Columbia, in their natural and protected environment.

In this exhibit the actual life cycle of the salmon took place as they laid eggs and gave birth to young.

Every year, the Pacific Undersea Gardens and their volunteers got organized to start their annual Clean-Up of Victoria's Inner Harbour.

Some of the garbage had included suitcases, pants, bicycles, tires, boat batteries, cell-phones, shoes and a toilet.
