Bahamas’ tale of underwater mermaid and the grand piano

Bahamas’ underworld will surprise you in many ways. It is not just the diverse marine life here, for there are other surprises as well. One such surprise that awaits the snorkelers beneath the waves in a private island in the Bahamas is a grand piano with a life-size sculpture of a mermaid lounging atop the ocean floor. The sight is magical if you go by the word of those who have been there.
Bahamas is surrounded by around 700 islands and 2400 cays, which cast magic with spectacular corals and ocean trenches that cannot be found anywhere else. Here, many small islands are privately owned, which can be booked for a memorable vacation. Also, because one can buy an island in this paradise for $5 million and up here, you might just bump into someone, who is an owner of an island here.
Similarly, one of the islands in Musha Cay is owned by the famous illusionist David Copperfield. In 2011, he commissioned an artist to sculpt a statue of a life-size mermaid looking at a grand piano. After this, he sank the sculpture in around 13 to 15 ft water off Rudder Cay, which lies in the south of Musha Cay, to give a quirky surprise to the divers. He, then, started a contest to see if anyone is interested or can even find it. Ever since, it has become a popular site for snorkelling.
It, however, becomes a bit difficult to spot these sculptures hidden below the surface when the current whisks the sand and clouds the water. Discovering them on a clear day is not a tough task, but very magical to say the least. Those capable of holding their breath for a while can swim down and photograph, posing atop the bench!
