The Key Largo's one was presented to the Underwater Society of America in New York in 1962. The statue was placed in Key Largo in 1965, about 25 feet underwater, as a peace gesture to divers and sea adventurers alike. ================================================== Date: January 22, 2012

Nice video! I have free dived around the Christ of Abyss statue and surrounding areas. I have a video on my youtube page of diving this reef and will go again soon to make another video of the Christ of the Abyss statue.

As a local I've been there a few times and never get a clear water with so good visibility as you get .. Lucky .. Also thanks for the cam info I have a gopro which I dont use too much due to the awful videos it shots . I will try the lens and filters

Tonka4x2001 - 11 years ago

Nice job, what software or app did you use to edit?

saltylenses - 11 years ago

I was about to throw my hero2 on craigslist.. so glad to see someone gave Snake River a shot on a hero2... did you keep it on the original dive house? I read there's an upgraded dive house I think by SRP as well, pricey addons, almost worth getting the new hero3... not sure what to do. I would still need to buy the Bluetooth bac-pac so that's like almost $350 just in upgrades, killer video though! Love the Cyan filter more than the Red!
