Snorkeling the Statue Park


 
Last weekend we were invited to join a group for an excursion
to Grenada's underwater statue park.  Located on the west coast,
the park is home to a number of statues that are placed in about 15 feet
of water, perfect for snorkeling.



This is the newer of two circles of human forms holding hands.
I will admit that the sea has given the figures somewhat of a
zombie appearance (think night of the living dead) but we found
it quite beautiful.



 
There is a mermaid resting on the ocean floor.
 
 
Faces appear amongst the coral.



 
This an area called the cemetery.
Human shapes in the sand.
 




Kneeling in prayer.

 
The shoreline is a series of little caves carved by the waves.
 

Heading back to the Carenage, the main port in St. George's,
we had a beautiful view of the town.
