About this site
Christ of the Abyss is a famous underwater landmark in Key Largo, Florida, where an 8 ft (2.4 m) bronze statue stands in about 25 ft (7.6 m) of water. The top of the statue sits near the surface, so snorkelers see it easily as well as divers.
It is a reef dive with the statue as its focus, suited to all certified divers and snorkelers.
