The creation process is the beginning phase for each statue in Atlantis. Every statue I sculpt is of a real
person I know. My subjects... Friends, family and people that I have encountered throughout my life. The
stone with which I sculpt is a very porous stone, enabling algae to grow and providing substanance for
our sea-life. We have "literally" seen the sea-life population in and around Atlantis Cayman Brac explode!

The load out is performed with the help of friends and volunteers. The island government even chips in to
make Atlantis Cayman Brac a "one of a kind destination!" We load the statue to our make-shift barge with
the help of some very large machinery and then take it out to its dive spot. Once we have found the
location, we gently lower the statue into place. Everything is planned to precision... But sometimes you
have to take what you can get. With Bill behind the wheel (in front of the motor on the boat) we set out for
the location. "I'm the crazy guy on the barge holding on for dear life!"

"When we get to our desired
location, we make preparations
to lower the sculpture to the sea
floor. Every effort is made to
ensure the proper placement is
made. Once there, we secure
the sculpture and look around
at the many sculptures that
surround us ... How beautiful!"

One of the largest pieces we moved and placed was the Archway of Atlantis, the two bases alone weigh
21,000 lbs each, the Elders’ Way, a pathway lined with 5-foot temple columns, leading to the Inner Circle
of Light. The 2,600lb Sundial on a 5,800 lb base, actually tells you the real time!

If you're looking for a new dive site... You've found it! Cayman Brac offers a variety of dive locations,
warm water and daylight to the bottom... In most areas. Atlantis Cayman Brac will continue to grow as
the "Pyramid of Atlantis" is added to the collection. It will be a "40,000 lb behemoth" and will be the
largest sculpture in the Lost City! We invite you to explore the Lost City of Atlantis Cayman Brac.
