A 2.7m, 600kg bronze mermaid reclining on the sand at 15m, tail curled, surrounded by garden eels and yellowtail. Twenty-plus years of growth has given her a patina no new install can fake. Cast by Simon Morris and sunk in 2000 off Sunset House, one of the earliest deliberate underwater sculptures anywhere, predating the sculpture-park boom by six years. Anchorage: Shore/boat dive off South West Point. Hazards: No site-specific hazards noted, brief normally.
