8 Mysterious Statues You Can Only See Underwater

The “Christ of the Abyss”
It is one of the most beautiful underwater statues in the world. This submerged bronze sculpture crafted by Guido Galletti in 1954 still lies beneath the waves in San Fruttuoso bay, between Camogli and Portofino on the Italian Riviera. On August 25, 1965, another nine-foot-tall bronze statue of Jesus Christ, cast from Galletti’s original mold, was placed in approximately 25 feet (7.6 m) of water off the coast of Key Largo, Florida, near Dry Rocks.
