3. Christ of the Abyss, Italy
This is the original underwater Jesus statue although a few copies can be found elsewhere. It is located off the western coast of Italy, not far from San Fruttuoso. Currently coral-encrusted, this statue is 2.4 meters high and rests 17 meters under the sea. It was sculpted by Guido Galletti and commissioned by the Italian scuba diver Duilio Marcante in 1954. It was meant to honor fellow scuba diver Dario Gonzatti who died while diving in 1947.
4. Aqaba Underwater Military Museum, Jordan
This collection of military equipment is situated off the coast of Aqaba in the Red Sea. Between 15 and 28 meters underwater you will discover a helicopter, a troop carrier, and tanks arranged in battle formation. It opened to snorkelers and scuba divers in July 2019. The team that arranged everything was careful not to disturb the local marine life and removed all hazardous materials prior to sinking everything.
