A 3m concrete-and-fibreglass Christ standing in the blue at 35m, paired on the same dive with the wreck of the MV Imperial Eagle ferry. Deep, dark, and genuinely eerie, the most atmospheric of all the underwater Christs. Sculpted by Alfred Camilleri Cauchi and blessed by Pope John Paul II's visit era; scuttled in 1990 off St Paul's Islands as a shrine to Maltese fishermen and seafarers. Moved in 2000 to sit beside the deliberately sunk Imperial Eagle so divers could reach both in one dive. Anchorage: Anchor in St Paul's Bay; the site itself is an offshore boat dive. Hazards: No site-specific hazards noted, brief normally.
