Holy Waters
The iconic Christ of the Abyss statue lies in ~30' of water off Key Largo. For decades, divers scrubbed it clean, but several years back, that became illegal, and set out for this shoot after several years of coral growth - not too much, not too little.

About Artist
Chris Gug
Just call me "Gug" - there are too many Chris's out there! I've been a professional underwater photographer since age 15, have shot in over 60 countries, and while I'm American, I've lived outside the USA for over a decade, split between Turks & Caicos, Papua New Guinea, and currently Indonesia. After running my highly successful underwater fine art gallery in Fort Lauderdale, I've recently handed over the reigns to an excellent art representative, and am enjoying a semi-retirement renaissance consisting of once again being creative and shooting new underwater fine art images for clients and the gallery on an almost daily basis.
