Sculptures under the sea.0:15
Tourists diving or snorkeling off the beautiful Yucatan Peninsula near Cancun, Mexico, might not believe their eyes.0:30
That's because there are amazing sculptures of men, women and children up to 8 meters below the waves.0:38
Sea creatures will soon share the bottom of Mexico's Caribbean Sea with the world's largest underwater sculpture park.0:46
Eventually, there will be 400 life size sculptures, including people holding hands in a circle, cyclists, office workers, and pets.0:54
The sculptor, Jason Dacres Taylor, cast his statues from local people so divers might even see someone they recognize.1:03
Jason hopes that his sculptures will encourage people to think about the environment.1:13
Pollution and hundreds of thousands of visitors per year are damaging Mexico's coral reefs.1:18
Jason wants people to swim to the underwater sculpture park instead of the damaged reefs.1:25
He creates the statues from cement that attracts sea creatures and encourages coral to grow on them.1:30
So if you ever visit Cancun, why not put on your flippers and snorkel and swim out to this amazing park?1:37
In time, you probably won't be able to see the sculptures, but you will see a stunning new coral reef.1:44
