Christ of the Abyss

Christ of the Abyss is one of Key Largo's most iconic underwater landmarks — a bronze statue submerged in the clear Atlantic waters of John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park. Positioned at roughly twenty-five feet below the surface, the statue is accessible by snorkeling or scuba diving, making it a singular destination that blends art, history, and marine exploration. The original statue was placed in the Italian Riviera; this Key Largo replica has become a beloved symbol of the underwater world that thrives in the Florida Keys. Even from a glass-bottom boat, the statue's outstretched arms reaching toward the surface create an unforgettable image.
