An underwater forest to 93 works including tree sculptures and children playing among them, set in a shallow sandy amphitheatre. Uniquely, it works for divers AND snorkellers, and it's genuinely uncrowded. Opened 2021, a collaboration between Taylor and Ayia Napa municipality. The forest theme inverts the usual reef narrative, a woodland being reclaimed by the sea as a warning about deforestation and rising water. Anchorage: Anchor off Pernera in sand; short swim/tender. Hazards: No site-specific hazards noted, brief normally.
