Underwater Sculpture: Jason Taylor


The Underwater Sculpture Park is the work of sculptor Jason Taylor from the UK, who has a passion for creating fantastic and unique pieces of work depicting Grenada’s colourful history and folklore and placing them underwater.

All of the sculptures are in beautiful clear shallow water easily accessible by divers and snorkelers. The sculptures end up creating artificial reefs, and enhancing the marine environment.
