A number of years ago we visited the underwater sculpture park off Moliniere Point. It was hard to find. Does anyone know the exact location lat / long. Did they ever clearly mark it and put in dingy mooring balls? Thanks

I was there a week or so ago. 12 04'57.51"N ; 61 45'47.72"W. Yes there are dingy balls there. It is between Gran Mal and Dragon Bay just north of the point north of Gran Mal. Unfortunately for us at the time the visibility was not so good. There are boat mooring balls south of the point and also in Dragon Bay.
Found this on Google Earth: Underwater Sculptures. This will be a compass navigation dive. Start at: "La Diablesse" counter-clock: 190A° next 138A° next 108A° next 25A° next 9A° next 257A° next 228 and end at "La Diablesse" again. See also www.underwatersculpture.com for map.

It really isn't at all hard to find. The park is on the very next western point after leaving St. George's anchorage, about 1.5 nautical miles. There are red buoys for day charter boats (NOT bareboats) and white ones for other boats. You will not need GPS or any other navigation aid other than your eyes.

Put the boat on a mooring ball and swim a few hundred yards to the statues. No anchoring.

We moored the boat around the point to the Southeast (toward Grand Mal) for an overnight there and took the dingy around to the dingy mooring balls. The current by the statue park was pretty strong so keep that in mind if you intend to moor close by and swim in. We did not have a guide or a map of the statues but at the time there was a dive shop that was touring so we tagged along on their coat tails.
