The Pacific Undersea Gardens was located at the Inner Harbour in the heart of downtown Victoria. The Gardens were owned and operated by the Oak Bay Marine Group.FeaturesThe Pacific Undersea Gardens was a 150-foot vessel that was towed from the Oak Bay Marina to the waters of the Inner Harbour. Visitors descended 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. The Gardens also had a tidal pond full of Sea stars and Sea Anemones where visitors were allowed to gently touch the animals.Located at the end of the 150-foot vessel of the Undersea Gardens was the Undersea Theatre. In the theatre, seating was provided where visitors would sit down and watch the show from the viewing windows of the aquarium. In the actual show, a guide would welcome them and narrate the show to explain the different wildlife in the aquarium.A diver was also in the show with an equipped full-face communication mask in the water to guide you, as well, and handle the different animals that were in the theatre aquarium such as Crabs, Sea Urchins, Sea stars, Sea Anemones, Cabezon and Lingcod. However, the two main attractions of the theatre were the Wolf Eels and a Giant Pacific Octopus named "Armstrong". The Undersea Theatre show was 20 minutes long, making the daily total tour time to be around 45 to 60 minutes.
