Come celebrate the life and work of Jacques Cousteau this Saturday, June 19th at the Port Angeles City Pier. The action starts at 10:00 am and if you are curious about the underwater world, this is a great opportunity to discover what it is all about. The City Pier is an easy stroll from our ferry terminal and would make an excellent day trip from Victoria.
Local divers will demonstrate diving gear in action....Here is your chance to learn about SCUBA diving up close and personal.
During the Saturday celebration, divers will broadcast live underwater video of the animals and life under the Port Angeles pier. They will also bring critters to touch tanks on the docks.
June 18-25 - The Olympic Coast Discovery Center, located on the second floor of the Landing Mall (where the Victoria Express terminal is located) will feature a week-long display of scuba gear along with Cousteau's books and videos. The Discovery Center is open daily 10:00 to 5:00 during the summer and offers video screening of actual underwater explorations, displays and exhibits of the waters that surround the Olympic Coast. For more information check out the Olympic Marine National Marine Sanctuary.
SCUBA - Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus - was developed by Mr. Cousteau in the 1940's and over the years diving equipment has been refined to allow individuals, with the proper training, the opportunity to experience an amazing underwater world.
