Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Ten Mile Point
Ten Mile Point can offer some great sights for the advanced diver. A constant current of varying strength keeps this area alive with sea life. You can stay in the shallows to explore the shore, or quickly drop down to 30 meters to investigate the nearby wall.
Our best advice is to get a map of Victoria once you arrive, and locate the general area of the point in the Cadboro Bay district. Find Tudor Ave which runs the length of the small peninsula, and head Southeast. Tudor will eventually bend to the left; in 300m, take a right on Baynes Road, then a left on White Rock. You'll see the intersection below.
Ten Mile Point is also known as Whiterock Street.

Ten-mile is by far the best site I have visited near Victoria. The dive must be timed close to slack tide to be most enjoyable (otherwise you'll end up hanging on to the kelp for fear of being swept away) but when timed correctly you drift leisurely along a stunning wall covered in plumose anemones, crabs and other micro-fauna. Easy exit on a boat ramp allows you to make a short walk back to where your vehicle is parked.
