This unique diving experience is unlike most because of its close proximity to shore.

This one-of-a-kind diving experience allows divers to not only experience a museum under 50-60 feet of water but also see the habitats developing under the sea. A prime tourism attraction, UMA also serves as an essential component in a larger effort to grow a healthy marine environment in the area. Additional sculptures will be included in the next few months as part of their second art installation.Grand Cayman: Diving In Paradise
