Question: Whose likeness is captured in a nine-foot-tall bronze statue submerged 25 feet below water off the coast of Key Largo?
Answer: Jesus Christ
Known as the Christ of the Abyss, this submerged statue in John Pennekamp State Park is the third of its kind cast from the original Italian mold. It was designed to represent Christ below the waves, a memorial for all those who had lost their lives at sea, and a monument to those who continued to dive beneath it.
