Visit our marine interpretation centre in Bonavista and learn about the wonders of the deep. Your visit starts with an introduction to live plankton using our digital microscope. We talk about the importance of these organisms to the marine ecosystem before moving onto larger animals. After plankton, we have a large variety of preserved fish to talk about, including deep sea angler fish, billfish, hagfish and black swallower. This is complimented by our underwater camera which provides live views of fish in Bonavista Harbour. The centre also houses a touch tank which allows us to introduce you to the common sea creatures found along our coastline. Before you leave you will find out about the seabirds which abound in our area. Our displays include a replica puffin burrow with egg and several carved replicas of birds with associated display panels.

Our tour specializes in squid and their relationship to other animals in the ocean. We have two giant squid, both of which were washed up in Newfoundland in 2004. This is the only place in the world where you can see a male and female giant squid together on display. You will learn about squid biology and some of the research we do into the importance of squid in the diet of marine animals.

Subsea Wonders is located next to the Harbour Quarters Inn in Bonavista and is open from 10am to 5pm daily. The building also serves as the departure point for our "Puffin Island Hike".
