Christ Of The Abyss, Italy

Did you know that over 80% of the sea is still unmapped and unobserved? No wonder why scientists have not yet discovered the entire sea and they openly admit that there are so many secrets at the bottom that are still unknown to us. The mysteries of the deep sea are quite fascinating. This bronze statue (15 meters deep) is one of the fascinating things down there. Sculptor Guido Galletti created the statue, which represents Jesus Christ looking towards heaven.

Initially, three statues like this were placed deep into the sea. This one is the first statue built in 1954 and placed near the spot where the first Italian scuba diver Dario Gonzatti died. In 2003, the statue was removed from the location due to restoration purposes and was placed back at the same spot the next year.
