In this exhibit the actual life cycle of the salmon took place as they laid eggs and gave birth to young. In another exhibit, there was a school of about a thousand Pacific Salmon as they swam along the ruins of a sunken ship. In one exhibit, fish, such as the Red Snapper, Rock Fish, Cabezon, Lingcod, Greenlings, Sculpins, Perch and Halibut, swam through the kelp forest, as they were surrounded by different Sea stars, Anemones and Crabs. The different marine life at the Gardens included different types of fish, Crabs, Sea stars, Sea Anemones, Sea Urchins, Sea Cucumbers, Scallops, Wolf Eels and the Giant Pacific Octopus. The Pacific Undersea Gardens housed more than 5,000 different species of British Columbia's marine life. The Undersea Theatre show was 20 minutes long, making the daily total tour time to be around 45 to 60 minutes.

In the theatre, seating was provided where visitors would sit down and watch the show from the viewing windows of the aquarium. Located at the end of the 150-foot (45 m) vessel of the Undersea Gardens was the Undersea Theatre. The Gardens also had a tidal pond full of Sea stars and Sea Anemones where visitors were allowed to gently touch the animals. Visitors descended 15 feet (4.5 m) beneath the ocean surface to look through the many viewing windows of the aquariums that surrounded the vessel and see the various marine life of coastal British Columbia, in their natural and protected environment.
