Grenada
is known for some great snorkeling and dive sites.
Vicissitudes
Just a
couple of miles north of St. George’s in Moilinere Bay is an underwater
sculpture garden with reportedly 65 pieces in an area of about 9000 sq feet.
A Mermaid
The
sculpture garden is within an area designated as a National Marine Park.
The Lost Correspondent
Most of the sculptures are in about 15 feet of
water.

Moiliniere
Bay suffered considerable storm damage in recent years and the placement of an
artificial structure has provided a new base for marine life to proliferate.

The
sculptures were also designed to create a diversion from other areas of coral
reef currently endangered by over use from water activities.
Grace Reef
Over
cocktails the night before, an impromptu snorkeling trip was put together with
three other couples in 3 dinghies.

Bill and
JoAnne from Ultra became our
unofficial guides because they had been to the site before.

We found
it to be an easy but very intriguing snorkeling trip and cannot wait to go
back.

JoAnne,
always the gracious host, had snacks ready for when we came out of the water.
