How it all came about

Construction Fun & a Painters Dream

Aqua-Vibes first was a vage idea by the owners of Aquanauts Grenada, Gerlinde & Peter, to create a great shopping experience for our customers. We started to empty out the store until we only had a shell and a big room - empty!

Aquanauts

At first we painted it all basic blue, than our friend Patel Santi - a gifted craftsman, nurse and world traveler helped us to build a counter in the shape of a ship, which we first named Bianca in remembrance of its famous sister. It was to be decorated with all kinds of undersea "treasures".

Than our dear friend Dominique Serafini visited us for some more great wreck diving. He proposed to us to decorate the walls with paintings and make it an art gallery. Dominique has many paintings of Grenada's great wrecks and underwater themes.

Dominique and Santi also build a model of our famous wreck - the cruise liner Bianca C - for one corner of the store. This model is like a reminder of how much the elements are changing this famous shipwreck over time - every time you dive it, it has changed again. this model is like a time capsule of the wreck still intact.

It took us a while to complete the first two stages of the project and changes will go on as we are changing brands, extending the art gallery as Dominique Serafini makes more paintings. We will have specials and dedicated exhibitions, the outside of the store needs a new paint - just keep watching this space.
