The coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, is indented by many bays and inlets. Reconnaissance surveys of the bottom and sub-bottom of Victoria Harbour, Esquimalt Harbour, Royal Roads, Pedder Bay, Parry Bay, Becher Bay, Sooke Bay, Sooke Harbour and Sooke Basin are reported. A 3-7 kHz profiler and 105 kHz side scan sonar were used. A more extensive study of Sooke Basin using a better positioning system, one meter coring equipment and divers is also reported.
