Key Largo Dry Rocks is one of the most visited and well-known dive spots in the
Florida Keys. Most of the visitors to the site are snorklers because the reef is
very shallow. Divers that choose to dive here will have to contend with the
swimmers above and have very good control of their buoyancy because the coral
is tall and close to the surface. A good dive would be to go around the coral and
not up and over the coral.
Dry Rocks is one of the most colorful sites in the Upper Keys. Sea fans, brain
coral, elkhorn, star coral are very healthy and grown up. Tropical fish abound.

The 9 foot 4000 pound bronze statue "Christ of the Abyss" was designed by Italian
sculptor Guido Galletti and was cast in Italy. This statue was commissioned and
donated by Egidi Cressi, an Italian industrialist and dive equipment manufacturer.
The Underwater Society of America received the donation in 1962 and placed the
statue at Key Largo Dry Rocks in 1966.
The Statue sits on a large concrete base in 25 feet of water in a sandy area in
between large coral structures.
