Iconic statue dive in San Fruttuoso Bay, where the bronze Cristo degli Abissi sits on a rocky seabed just off the abbey. The dive combines a sheltered bay, a memorable historical centerpiece, and nearby rocks that hold fish, corals, and gorgonians, so it suits divers who want an easy scenic route with a strong sense of place as well as marine life.
