Offshore paddling to find Jesus
in the Florida Keys dive country!
.
“Sangre de Cristo” – blood and sea are closely related.
Kayaking to Dry Rocks Reef – a Pilgrimage to find the “Christ of the Abyss” off Key Largo!
.
There’s no question that Jesus has a powerful draw – spiritually, figuratively and literally. Six miles offshore from Key Largo lies the statue of “Christ of the Abyss” – one of the most popular snorkel and dive destinations in the Keys. This is a story of a pilgrimage of sorts to paddle out and find Jesus by kayak!
This particular “Christ of the Abyss” statue is actually one of three worldwide that are underwater. It is fact the third casting from the same mold and was commissioned for Italian dive equipment manufacturer Egidio Cressi, who then donated it to the Underwater Society of America. The Society, in turn presented the sculpture to the then newly formed John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park in Key Largo in the early 1960’s.
