Explore Saint Lucia's New Underwater Sculpture Park This Winter
This winter, a new and exciting underwater diving experience is set to open in Saint Lucia, known as Below Saint Lucia. Located at Anse La Verdure on the island’s picturesque southwest coast, this innovative park brings together art, culture, and marine conservation with its breathtaking collection of 31 sculptures. These pieces are inspired by the island's rich heritage and the remarkable stories of its people, from war fighters to cultural preserver to entrepreneurs who have shaped Saint Lucia’s identity.
A Tribute to the Nation
Among the prominent figures honored in this sculpture collection is Dame Pearlette Louisy, the longest-serving former Governor-General of Saint Lucia. Her statue stands as a testament to her dedication to public service and the significant legacy she has established. This tribute reflects the attraction's aim to offer visitors not only an adventurous dive but also a profound connection to the island's history.
Connect with Nature and History
Minister for Tourism, Commerce, Investment, and Culture, Hon. Dr. Ernest Hilaire, emphasizes the importance of creating experiences that are deeply rooted in the island’s story. The park encourages divers and snorkelers to explore the magical underwater world while learning about marine conservation. As the sculptures serve as artificial reefs, they play a vital role in supporting coral growth and fostering marine biodiversity—hence making every dive not only a testament to human creativity but also a contribution to environmental stewardship.
A New Wave of Tourism
Below Saint Lucia represents an exciting step towards diversifying the island’s tourism offerings. By embracing innovative attractions that celebrate local culture and nature, Saint Lucia is inviting both locals and visitors to dive deep into the stories that lie beneath the surface. As the park opens in November, it's an invitation to experience adventure and history in one breathtaking location.
So gear up for an unforgettable journey beneath the waves and discover the rich narratives that await you in Saint Lucia's underwater paradise—your next adventure is just a dive away!
