The Neptune Memorial Reef at a depth of 40 feet is 3.25 miles (5.2 km) off the coast of Key Biscayne, Florida. Originally planned as a replica of the Lost City of Atlantis, beautiful columns, starfish, memorial plaques, and a lion statue form the world’s largest man-made reef (covering over 600,000 sq feet). This is an underwater cemetery where cremated remains are mixed with cement to form features of the Reef and memorial plaques are added.
