Things to Do in Victoria

Nestled within a 150-foot floating vessel 5 metres below Victoria’s Inner Harbour, Pacific Undersea Gardens sprawls with an interactive aquarium and dive-show theatre. More than 5,000 animals such as rock cod, red snapper, Pacific salmon, and wolf eels slink and swim through the facility’s natural, protected environment, which guests can peek into from the dry side of numerous viewing windows. As critters flit about in a tidal pond, visitors of all ages gently interact with the sea creatures. In the vessel's spacious theatre area, divers shielded in masks equipped with communications gear chat with onlookers while swimming among sea stars, anemones, and a giant Pacific octopus affectionately named Armstrong. After the show, divers clear their schedules to meet with birthday partygoers, and friendly guides educate school groups and oversee activities such as knighting favourite teachers with a swordfish.

A graduate of the CPGA's Professional Golf Management program, Adam Novosad combines his education and more than three years of teaching experience as he continues to build personal relationships and polished golf games at the training facilities of Prospect Lake Golf Course. Since each golfer learns in his or her own unique way, Adam customizes private and group lessons to each individual student's skill level and swing tendencies, whether that means lending expertise in individual skill areas or recommending a wardrobe of only argyle. By the end of sessions, players see improvement in their swinging motion, putting consistency, and chipping accuracy from unoccupied bald spots of passersby.
