The Island of Cayo Largo
The island of Cayo Largo is approximately 177 kms south of Havana City and the mainland of Cuba. It is part of the archipelago De Los Canarreos group of islands. Christopher Columbus discovered these islands during his second voyage to the New World. The island of Cayo Largo is surrounded by limpid, calm water of different shades of blue as its depth changes. Combine this with the fine creamy white sand and it all goes to complete the peace and quiet of this island in the Cuban Caribbean that is Cayo Largo del Sur. An island that is rewarded by nature to give plenty of rest to all who visit it. - that is if you're lucky enough. |

Hi Group ! I have just returned from Grenada where I had a week of great diving and some firsts for me.
I took my 16 year old son and we did some specialty courses.Wreck, deep, drift and photography
,all Padi and with Aquanauts in True Blue resort.
I was also overseeing the purchase of my apartment on Mourne Rouge beach,
I only have to wait for the licence to come through.Again we had a fantastic time,
both in and out of the water.My son was treated like a local and went to "chill" (or roast)
on the beach with his new friendsand we "hung"quite happily like we had always been there.
Fish friday again a great favourite with its local music and fish dishes.
I visited more sights such as the Grand Etang Park and lake up in the mountains
and of course the waterfalls.
But to the serious stuff of diving! We started off the weeks dives
with the catarmaranon Windmill Shallows,
no not shallow and no windmills.The rhum runner is about 32 metres
down with lovely growths and abundance of fish and life. |

When did your interest in the relationship between art and the environment arise? And why.
It is difficult to pinpoint exactly when I first became interested, but I believe it has been a fascination throughout my life, even as a young boy. My parents were both English language teachers and as a family we ended up moving from one country to another. Somehow producing a sculpture or making a mark on the landscape kind of felt like a way of belonging. I have always enjoyed the way art can transcend cultural boundaries and express universal feelings. When I moved to the UK in my teens I became heavily involved in the graffiti culture which had just arrived from New York. This provided a platform towards public art which I never realised was possible. Painting trains became an exciting and liberating way to express myself. When I reached nineteen I started at Art collage and went on to study for a further four years. During this time I became interested in how living systems integrated with sculpture. Producing works which were powered by the wind and casting lines made by creatures in the sand. |

- Hi Jason, and thanks for your time to chat with us at Scuba Herald, Jason tell us about who you are and what is Underwater Sculpture?
I am a British Sculptor/Diving Instructor. 32 years of age, currently resident in London. The underwater sculpture gallery is a project aiming to create a unique space which highlights environmental processes and explores the complex relationships between art and its environment. By creating an artificial reef of sculptures, the ultimate aim of the project is to form a platform to promote the re-generation of marine life and use sculpture as a means of conveying hope and environmental awareness
- How does a young english artist end up spending his time diving in the carribean and setting up underwater sculptures?
I ended up teaching diving in Grenada and I thought I might as well seize the opportunity while I could. I have had the idea of a underwater sculpture park for over 8 eight years and finally found a opening. It had the perfect location and the support from diving community and government. It is also an island of exceptional beauty and I found it very inspiring. |

I was in Grenada with the group of divers using the affiliation singledivers.com. We dived the Bianca C. It was my first dive to this depth and to this wreck. Fantastic. Not enough time down there though, so I plan to go back for more. I have been to Grenada so far three times in a year and I will continue my love affair with Grenada next month when I return to do my wreck and deep specialties. There are some new wrecks which have been recently sunk, one at 36 metres, the 60m Hildur and two in front of Grand Anse beach at 18m. There are other wrecks, of course, 14, I believe. I dived the Shakem, an interesting freighter at about 32m and the shallower Veronica as well a catarmaran. |
