John penecamp During spring break I visited John penecamp and we were able to explore the coral reef and we saw the Jesus statue. It was an amazing experience. We also were able to see a whole bunch of barracudas. In 1954, Italian diver Duilio Marcante had the idea to cast a bronze statue of Jesus to place in the water near where Dario Gonzatti, the first Italian to use scuba gear, died. Sculptor Guido Galleti helped him cast and sink the statue, where it remained until 2003, when it underwent some maintenance and cleaning, since it was missing a hand and was suffering from corrosion. It was replaced in 2004. The original clay mold was discovered in 1993 after being lost for many years. It’s on display in a museum that's located on dry land, for the non-scuba trained among us to visit. I brought my go pro on this adventure and I was able to capture these amazing pictures
