Christ of the Abyss
★★★★☆
(1,866)
Probably the most requested and recognized dive site in the Florida Keys, the Christ of the Abyss is a 10 ft tall bronze statue of Jesus Christ sitting in about 25 feet of water, making this an excellent, easy dive for all levels including snorkelers.
In addition to the iconic statue, divers will encounter stingrays, moray eels, turtles, possible eagle rays, nurse sharks, and all the popular Caribbean reef fish species.
