More infoThe Ogden Point Breakwater is Victoria's favourite tourist stroll, and beneath it hides something most strollers never suspect. Frank White's, the city's longest-running dive shop, guides snorkels along the breakwater's rocky underwater edge, where a series of sunken plaques line the wall beside kelp, rockfish, sea stars and the odd curious seal. They kit you out in a thick wetsuit, so beginners are welcome. Pick a calm, clear day.
Book a guided snorkel with Frank White's and float the rocky edge of the famous breakwater on a treasure hunt for the sunken plaques, drifting over kelp, rockfish and sea stars in clear, cold water, no scuba ticket required. They kit you out in a thick wetsuit you'll need, with a guide watching over you, so it's beginner-friendly; budget about 3 hours. Bracing and a little wild, it's a memorable shared first, pick a calm, clear day, then warm up in James Bay.
