Located off the coast of Moliniere Point, a cape in Saint George Parish, Grenada it is a popular place to go snorkeling or diving. The marine park is one that National Geographic has listed as one of the Top 25 Wonders of the World. Over 50 statues were created by British sculptor Jason deCaires Taylor in 2006 and stand under the blue water. Each sculpture in the underwater gallery has its own distinct personality and story. One is a circle of life like humans all holding hands. Adding a bit of mystery and intrigue is the coral algae and other various marine life that have made their homes on the statues which gives them their own living, breathing ecosystems. It is said to have a rather eery mystique.

@celticeagle I love the water, but of course I would be scared of the sharks.

I went there on a jet ski from St. Georges. It is very beautiful. The water is very clear.
