Underwater Sculptures - Scuba Hank NYC

Inspired by Mitch Teemley‘s 50 Unique Sculptures post, here are images from a few underwater sculpture parks I’ve dived. The sculptures in Grenada and Mexico were designed by Jason deCaires Taylor and the sculpture in Grand Cayman was designed by Simon Morris.

Grenada is an island located in the southern Caribbean. The images captured below were taken with my first underwater “point and shoot” camera.

    North Carolina is renowned for its sand tiger shark encounters during shipwreck diving, thanks to the unique underwater structure of its wrecks. These sharks, classified as Vulnerable, are memorable for their slow movement and striking presence, making them sought-after by divers and photographers alike, especially from May to October.
