Art museums have never done much for me.

When I'm traveling, I'd much rather wander through a rainforest or rent a stand-up paddle board than analyze someone else's creative works.

Yet that's exactly what I found myself doing on my trip to the Caribbean.

The difference? Rather than standing in a stuffy, air-conditioned gallery, I was treading water while gazing down at Jason deCaires Taylor's newest masterpieces through a snorkel mask.

What makes the art so special is that witnessing it is an adventure in and of itself, whether you choose to scuba dive, snorkel, or gaze down from a glass-bottomed kayak.

Although Taylor's work can now be found worldwide in places like France, Mexico, and Australia, Grenada's underwater sculpture park was the first of its kind.

Here's what I saw on my snorkeling excursion to this awe-inspiring attraction.
