About this site

Christ of the Abyss is a submerged bronze statue in Key Largo, Florida, part of John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park in the Florida Keys. It sits on a shallow reef with a maximum depth of around 7.6 metres, rated a beginner dive with great visibility, and is popular with snorkelers as well as divers. Barracuda are a regular sight around the statue, and divers have also reported angelfish, eagle rays, nurse sharks, parrotfish, and snapper on the surrounding reef.
