To err is human, to Arrrgghhh is Pirate


There are a lot of things on the sea bed and many a diver wishes they can discover sunken treasure or fascinating wrecks. Jason Taylor, a British artist has gone one step further and created an underwater gallery click here for more details. His big idea is that by creating a fabulous underwater gallery, people can experience a Vesuvius like exhibition. The installations of people emerge ghost like from the Panamanian water, which must be a bit of a shock if you dont know they are there. They are in shallow water, so can be viewed by snorkelers, divers and people in glass bottomed boats. They will develop over time and eventually become reefs in their own right. His site takes you through the full artistic justification of this, but for me, the more buried treasure out there for people to come across the better.
