Christ Of The Abyss is a popular dive site located off San Fruttuoso, near the village of Portofino. The bronze statue was placed on the seabed in 1954, to honor the memory of Dario Gonzatti, who died during a dive in that spot a few years earlier, and all the others lost at sea.
The sculpture measures 2,5 meters (8 feet) in height and weighs 260 kilograms (573 pounds).
It's an easy dive that takes place in shallow waters (maximum depth is 15 meters) and is protected against strong winds.
