History of the Jesus Statue at John Pennekamp Coral Reef Park, Key Largo, Florida

This Jesus statue is named Christ of the Abyss and is one of the top destinations for tourists worldwide. John Pennekamp Coral Reef Park is one of the areas we take our guests on tours to at Sailfish Scuba. The reef where the statue of Jesus is located is named Key Largo Dry Rocks Reef because, at low tide, the reef literally sticks out of the water, making the reef appear to be dry rocks sticking out of the ocean.  Swaying purple and green sea fans, massive orange sponges, fuzzy red algae, and a vibrant array of soft coral varieties in every color of the rainbow can be seen at this dive site. These soft corals are the perfect home for all varieties of reef fish, eels of three varieties, spotted eagle rays, southern stingrays, sea turtles, and even a shark sometimes, just to name a few of the critters you get to see.

The Christ of the Abyss statue of Jesus was placed here in John Pennekamp Coral Reef Park in August of 1965 and survived Hurricane Betsy one month later. The statue of Jesus is made of bronze and stands 8.5 feet (2.5 meters) tall. It is anchored to a 4,000-pound (1,814-kilogram) concrete base. Corals have successfully grown all over the base and the statue, making it an artificial reef. Our Christ of the Abyss statue of Jesus is a copy of the original, named Il Christo Degli Abissi, which sits in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Genoa, Italy.
