Italy Ligurian SeaChrist of the Abyss refers to a number of bronze sculptures of Jesus Christ submerged in water.
The original sculpture, "Il Cristo degli Abissi" is in the Mediterranean sea off San Fruttuoso between Camogli and Portofino on the Italian Riviera. It was placed in the water on 22 August 1954 at approximately 17 metres depth, and stands ~2.5 metres (~8.5 feet) tall.
"Il Cristo degli Abissi" was created by Guido Galletti after an idea of Italian swimmer / diver Duilio Marcante. The statue was placed near the spot where Dario Gonzatti died in 1947. He was the first Italian to use SCUBA gear.
The statue depicts Christ in a pose offering a blessing of peace. His hands and head are raised toward the surface (or the sky, when positioned above water).
The harbour of San Fruttuoso.
Due to increasing amounts of corrosion and the growth of crustaceans, the statue was removed from the water and restored in 2003. A hand that had been detached by an anchor was also replaced. The statue was returned to the water with a new base on 17 July 2004.
A second bronze sculpture cast from the same mold exists off the coast of St George in the Caribbean. This was a gift of the navy of Genoa for assistance in rescuing the crew of Italian vessel Bianca C destroyed by fire in the port of St. George. The sculpture was placed under water on October 22, 1961.
A third bronze from the original mold was presented to the Underwater Society of America in New York in 1962. On August 25 1965 it was placed approximately 25 feet off the waters of Key Largo, Florida. It is located around Dry Rocks, around six miles North east of Key Largo in the John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park. While the statue weighs around 400 pounds, the concrete base to which it is attached weighs about 20,000 pounds.
Various other casts of the statue exist both under water and above water in churches and museums.
The original clay statue minus the hands was located in a foundry in 1993. This is now on display with replacement hands at the National Museum of Underwater Activities in Ravenna, Italy.

Honduras Caribbean SeaReally awesome wall dive on the North side of Utila, near Turtle Harbour. An excellent site for diving with nitrox. Use the right blend and breath slow and you can stay down and drift along the wall for over an hour on a single tank.

Indonesia Bali SeaDepending on the swell, this place can be paradise or hell. The day this particular shot was captured, a storm was brewing out to sea which made entry and exit quite a task with the increasing swell size. Later in the afternoon rescues had to be carried out by boat to retreive returning divers as exit from the beach was impossible( 5-6 feet waves breaking on beach)
A volcano eruption in 1963 has left a black, rocky beach. If you have a big camera, it is a definate MUST to have guide to help you with your diving.
