Snake Island (Nanaimo)

Local seals have become accustomed to divers in the water, and will interact withthem.

The Island may get its name from the image of a snake’s head that appears in the coastal rocks at low tide.

Snake Island is near the site of the artificial reef created by the sinking of HMCS Cape Breton, a Second World War Victory ship.

The vessel was acquired and prepared by the Artificial Reef Society of British Columbia.
