Ogden Point Breakwater
By Anonymous , 04-02-2009
Victoria Breakwater - A wonderful place to get the feel of Scuba Diving. When we were there lots of fish, lingcod, urchins, sea lions, bull kelp, a large jellyfish the size of a steering wheel, swimming scallops. On the plane home my foot started to swell the size of a football. I had got stung by the jellfish stingers. Hurt like heck for 3 days but all ok now. This place is an excellent place to dive.
