The "Lost City" of the Cayman Islands
Everyone has heard of the fabled city of Atlantis, the ancient Greek civilization that Plato claimed sank to the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea. While this remains a myth, a real underwater city has emerged, thousands of miles away in the Caribbean waters off Cayman Brac. Here, a sculptor has been crafting his own vision of Atlantis, drawing attention from divers and thrill-seekers worldwide.
A Sculptor's Vision
This reimagined Atlantis is the creation of a mysterious local artist known as Foots. Captivated by the legend of Atlantis since childhood, Foots is now in his 50s and has devoted himself to this massive project. Working primarily alone, he has already completed several large sculptures and laid the groundwork for an underwater city. Positioned on a naturally sandy stretch of sea floor, Foots is careful to protect the surrounding marine ecosystem. He continuously adds new sculptures every six months, allowing the city to evolve over time. Remarkably, Foots relies solely on his imagination, with no drawings guiding his work.
Exploring the Underwater City
The entrance to this underwater realm is marked by the colossal Archway of Atlantis, each base weighing over ten tons. Divers are immediately immersed in this breathtaking environment, with the archway leading to "The Elders Way." This path, lined with classical temple columns, culminates in sculptures called Prophets, modeled after influential figures in Cayman society, watching over the city.
The Inner Circle of Light, a vast courtyard on the sea floor, is where divers will find a large sundial surrounded by towering columns. In Foots' narrative, a young girl ensured the torches atop the columns remained lit, preventing any shadows from casting over the sundial. This represents the Circle of Light, a symbol of endless time.
A Harmonious Ecosystem
Foots chose the site for Atlantis with care, ensuring no coral needed removal. The sculptures, crafted from non-harmful concrete, blend seamlessly into the marine environment, supporting vibrant life. Already, the city is teeming with a variety of sea creatures?"corals branching out, sponges nesting among the sculptures, and tropical fish navigating the underwater cityscape.
Dive and Snorkel in Crystal Waters
Resting at a depth of just 40-50 feet, the site offers excellent visibility, attracting daily visits from dive operators. Unlike the Cayman Islands' popular wall dives, Atlantis is accessible to divers of all ages and skill levels. Snorkelers can also enjoy this unique underwater marvel.
For a one-of-a-kind diving experience, visit Cayman Brac, a sister island to Grand Cayman. Home to the world's first underwater city and the largest collection of underwater sculptures, the Cayman Islands' Lost City continues to develop, welcoming marine life for years to come.
