Victoria Experimental Network Under the Sea

What is VENUS? VENUS, the coastal network of the Ocean Networks Canada Observatory, is a cabled undersea laboratory for ocean researchers and explorers. VENUS delivers real time information from seafloor instruments via fibre optic cables to the University of Victoria, BC. You can see ocean data live, recent and archived as well as learn more about on-going research. Learn more at Discover VENUS.

The VENUS data portal is currently operating at reduced service levels due to a storage failure at UVic Research Systems. Thank you for your patience while we work to bring everything back to normal. Click here to contact us.
