Christ of the Abyss

Christ of the Abyss (Italian: “Il Cristo degli Abissi”)

A concept sculpture created by Guido Galletti after an idea of Italian diver Duilio Marcante. The statue was placed near the spot where Dario Gonzatti, the first Italian to use SCUBA gear, died in 1947. It depicts Christ offering a benediction of peace, with his head and hands raised skyward.

The original is between Camogli and Portofino on the Italian Riviera, but I think this picture is of the one in the New World at Key Largo
