Canada's first underwater sculpture park was established in 2014 and dedicated to all those who tragically lost their lives in the St. Lawrence River. The first sculptures were part of the memorial circle that is the focal point of the underwater sculpture park.

The second set of water entry stairs was made possible by all those who donated to the "Dave Cooper Memorial Fund" and the dedicated volunteers of "Save Ontario Shipwrecks" - Thousand Islands Chapter.

Dave Cooper, co-founder of Abucs scubA, was one of the pioneers of the local recreational diving industry. Dave tragically lost his life on August 7, 2000 while pursuing his passion, diving the Brockville Narrows.

Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but bubbles,
and give our past a future!
