We went with Seafaris powerboat which took us to the site. Maybe the sculptures would have been more visible on a sunny day. Our day was cloudy and rainy, so visibility was limited. The statues were a surprise when you finally spotted them, and it was kind of interesting the be snorkeling and all of a sudden, you come upon them, mysteriously in the deep. It was neat to come across one unexpectedly, and there were a surprising number of the statues. Some were too deep to make out well. We were more drawn to the abundant sealife that we came across, lobster, eel, barracuda, water snake, squid, as well as the usual schools of tang, parrotfish, etc.
One of the most amazing experiences. They are not very deep so you can snorkel and dive down. If you want to get really close, then scuba. The guide took us to each sculpture so that we wouldn't miss anything. Really amazing. We went when it was raining and cloudy and could still see them clearly. My kids LOVED this experience. That's them diving down in the photos.
This is an amazing place. I only wish that i had the ability to take photos underwater. Believe me, it is alor more facinating that these simple photos here as i see on google. It is just amazing. Also the kids loved it.
Sadly, it was nothing like the photos I had seen in brochures and online. A lot of the sculptures were broken and had fallen down. There were few fish and what coral and vegetation there was looked like it was dying. There are no markers restricting the area to protect swimmers, and a tour boat from the local Sandals resort almost ran over me as I was snorkeling.
Very interesting snorkeling area led by a great team on a catamaran trip. Would go again.
A definite must see. Tour guides were friendly and knowledgeable. Weather was less than cooperative but still enjoyed my visit.
If the weather has not been good recently and the water has been churned, the tour companies will still take you out. You will see nothing..no statues and no fish. Most bookings are non refundable, so book at the last minute.
diving and snorkelling was great. sculptures were ok.first dive i was biten 9 times by jelly fish but 2nd dive near sculptures ok. bring benedral cream!
A bit smaller than I had thought and some storm damage due to shallow depth 5 to 7 meters. They are now getting some good growth on them. The reef in the area is very good but sand can reduce visibility.
Loved it, went out scuba diving with Aquanaut's and it was totally awesome.
