A giant bronze submerged statue in honour of Dario Gonzatii, scuba diving pioneer who dived in these waters. Now a monument to all those who devote their lives to the ocean. Surreal, beautiful statue of Christ with arms outstretched. On Bright days, sunlight hits his hands and it looks amazing! A must for all divers to see at least once! Divers from all over the world make a pilgrimage during July with light candles on the water.
