Discover more about Grenada Underwater Sculpture Park

The Grenada Underwater Sculpture Park is an extraordinarySubmarine museum that lies just off the west coast of Grenada in Molinere Bay. Established in 2006 by British sculptor Jason deCaires Taylor, the park was created to promote marine conservation and provide an artificial reef system after Hurricane Ivan damaged the natural reef in 2004. Taylor used pH-neutral concrete and steel to construct the sculptures, encouraging coral and marine life to thrive. The park features over 75 sculptures, including the iconic 'Vicissitudes,' a circle of life-sized figures cast from local children holding hands, symbolizing unity and resilience. Another notable piece is 'Christ of the Deep,' created by Troy Lewis, a replica of a sculpture given to Grenada in gratitude for aiding passengers of the sunken Bianca C. The sculptures are located at depths of 5 to 8 meters (16 to 26 feet), making them accessible to snorkelers, divers, and those on glass-bottom boat tours. The Underwater Sculpture Park has had a significant positive impact on the local ecosystem, quickly attracting a diverse range of marine species. The sculptures act as artificial reefs, providing a habitat for coral, sponges, algae, and various fish species. This unique blend of art and nature has earned the park recognition as one of National Geographic's 25 Wonders of the World and has greatly contributed to Grenada designating the area as a marine protected site.
