A 4m, 3-tonne bronze half-seahorse, half-warrior with trident, standing on the sand at the top of a wall that drops into the abyss. Cayman's clarity makes it look like it's floating in air. Sculpted by Canadian artist Simon Morris and sunk in 2014 off Lighthouse Point, the largest bronze underwater sculpture in the Western Hemisphere at the time, funded by Cayman's dive industry as a reef-protection emblem. Anchorage: Shore-dive site; anchor off West Bay in sand. Hazards: No site-specific hazards noted, brief normally.
