Is there such a thing as in pic for
This area. Being able to overlay a chart

GIS software like ARCinfo will produce excellent 3d images like you have pictured in your post, but it is expensive and you need the 3d map files that usually come from a govt source
The best source for bathymetric data is the CHS, but unlike NOAA in the US (which provide this data for free as taxpayers have already paid for its creation) our Fed govt makes us pay alot for it here in Canada. http://www.charts.gc.ca/data-gestion/bathy/bathymetri-eng.asp
One thing to keep in mind is how much vertical exaggeration is in the 3d view. The more exaggeration the more detail you see, but is is not a reflection of what is really looks like down there.
I got this image off the web. Don't know who created it. I think it was done for when they created the eco reserve around Race Rocks. Images like this are created by GIS s/w like ARCinfo using govt bathymetric data.
