Snorkelers and divers are in for an interesting find when they go underwater near John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park. An eight-and-a-half-foot, 4,000-pound bronze sculpture called “Christ of the Abyss” sits 25 feet beneath the surface at a site called the Key Largo Dry Rocks. The statue is a replica of sculptor Guido Galletti’s “Il Cristo Degli Abissi,” which is submerged off the coast of Genoa, Italy, as a memorial to sailors lost at sea.
