Jason deCaires Taylor, a British sculptor has designed the largest underwater gallery to date.
The ancient-looking figures in the picture (see left) are only some of the 400 life-size statues that will be laid on the bed of the Mexican Caribbean, off Isla Mujeres.
Jason, 35 hopes to create an artificial reef that will eventually attract algae and develop the aesthetic quality of the figures further. His highly commended sculpture park aims to explore the relationship between modern art and the environment. There is a need to preserve and protect our natural environments and this is certainly what is being promoted by this internationally recognised gallery.
