Pacific Undersea Gardens, Public aquarium in Inner Harbour, Victoria, Canada.

The Pacific Undersea Gardens operated from a 150-foot vessel where visitors descended 15 feet below the ocean surface to observe marine life through viewing windows.

Biologist Charles White established the Pacific Undersea Gardens in 1964 at Oak Bay Marina before relocating it to Inner Harbour in downtown Victoria in 1969.

The facility supported marine education through daily theater shows featuring divers who interacted with various sea creatures while providing educational presentations to visitors.

The complete tour experience lasted between 45 to 60 minutes, including a 20-minute underwater theater show with professional divers explaining marine life behaviors.

The facility housed more than 5,000 different species of British Columbia marine life, including an exhibit of thousand Pacific Salmon swimming near sunken ship ruins.
