Dive Grenada





I don’t often get a chance to flash my PADI dive card, so I jumped at the chance to experience the famous undersea world of Grenada. With the professional guidance of Grenada Dive (see http://www.divegrenada.com ), I got to explore one of the famous submarine sights of the island: the Underwater Sculpture Park.

This is a series of sculpted figures and faces that has been placed 20 feet down amidst the reefs and sands of a sheltered bay. It’s a magical, mysterious place to explore for a diver, as the sponge-encrusted faces peer out at you from the sandy sea bed and coral overhangs…like exploring Atlantis and an ancient, sunken world.
