A bronze cross standing on the sand at 12m, weathered and coral-crusted, on the same reef as MUSA's Silent Evolution but almost always empty of divers. Quieter and more affecting than the museum next door. Placed in 1994 as a memorial to seafarers and divers lost at sea, and blessed annually in a ceremony where local fishing families lay flowers underwater. It predates MUSA by fifteen years and is the reason Manchones was already a pilgrimage reef before the sculptures arrived. Anchorage: Marine park moorings off Manchones; Isla Mujeres marinas. Hazards: Current can pick up on the reef edge.
