This is actually kind of creepy. I mean, if I was just swimming along and I came upon this staring at me from the depths of the sea...I'd probably make the water a little warmer and browner.

[–]is-serp 182 points183 points ago

As a Maltese diver I can confirm that! The statue is placed next to a wreck that's 42m (~138 feet) deep. When you look down from the surface, you can't see the bottom... so you start going down, and you find this fucking big face looking back at you! Scared the shit out of me the first time!

[–]YOU_ARE_A_FUCK 19 points20 points ago

How far down does this amount of light go? To me it could have been 10m below the surface based on the light in the photo. But then you say it's 42m and you can't even see the bottom it makes me wonder.

EDIT: I am probably the farthest away from a diver you can get, and my post have no bad intentions. I am just curious :)

[–]is-serp 29 points30 points ago

I would say that visibility in the sea around Malta usually varies between 30 to 50m (~100 to 150 feet) when the conditions are ideal.

The place where this statue is located has a sandy bottom and is about half mile out at sea. Sea currents cause the water to silt up and that reduces visibility.

[–]YOU_ARE_A_FUCK 11 points12 points ago

Surprisingly good answer! Short, accurate and it even makes sense.

                Do Americans generally hear a lot about Malta, the country? I'm genuinely curious. I don't think I've ever seen an American TV show or film where it gets mentioned.

                [–]grpace7 6 points7 points ago

                I'm Maltese and I live in America. I have yet to meet another person from Malta in my 23 years.

                I have a bunch of Maltese relatives that live in Michigan.

                  They don't. I'm American, and my paternal grandfather emigrated here from Malta in the 1930's, which means my last name is Maltese. And whenever anyone asks about my last name and I tell them the nationality, I get one of the following reactions:

                  "Where is that?" "Oh! Like the dog!" "Oh! Like the falcon!"

                  Sigh.

                    [–]FiveSmash 5 points6 points ago

                    This picture is really misleading. The statue is not that big, the diver is in the background.

                            That's just silly.

                            Well you might think that if you've never been to Malta and you don't know anything about the island, so maybe some quick facts are in order;

                            Malta has more churches than any other nation and the island is only 17 miles by 9, they are very devout and often new popes visit the island when they are first pontificated.

                            They are an island in the middle of the Meditteranean that is reliant on tourism and to a large extent dive tourism. In fact one of the largest glass bottomed boat operators on the island sunk a large tug boat in 42 metres of water as a dive site. Its also home to many, many WWII era wreck dives. Underwater in Malta is quite spectacular.

                            Now put those two things together and you have underwater Jesus.

                            Edit; I was wrong about the churches. It just seemed like there was an awful lot when I was there.

                            You know, I was debating putting "this is a joke" or something in that post, but I figured everyone would realize I was joking.

                            [–]MoRR1S 8 points9 points ago

                            You were not so wrong about the churches. Here in Malta there is a church in about every small town you can find, while in these towns there are also chapels. However, nowadays Christianity is slowly losing it's dominant force in our islands. The first step was when finally last year a referendum was held to introduce divorce, which the majority voted as a yes. The attendance in the churches is also decreasing by the days. Still, in our legislation i think there is still written thatour laws are based on the Christian belief

                              Also, back in 1565 approximately a thousand Knights of Malta (plus 5,000 others, 6,000 total) held off an invasion of 48,000 Turks of The Ottoman Empire. The siege went on for months. One of the most brutal battles in history, and the Knights of Malta are rightly remembered for winning it.

                              The story of how Malta survived being besieged during WWII is an amazing one.

                                        Looks like Jesus couldn't walk on water.

                                        I live in Malta and I had no idea this was here. I know there's a popular legend stating there's a whole chapel underwater somewhere (complete with functioning candles) so it makes me wonder what else people have misplaced in the deep blue sea.

                                          There's a similar statue in John Pennecamp Coral Reef State Park in Florida [photo].

                                          It used to be covered in fire coral so if you got too close you might get a rash (kind of like a jellyfish sting).

                                          Actually it's pretty cool because I was on Malta this summer and took two specialities and my friend (Master Diver) told me about this. He talked about it all the time! BTW, have you seen the gigantic stranded boat outside the coast of Malta? That dive would be amazing too.

                                          There's a ninja star in Jesus's hand, the parts of jesus life that's missing was spent mastering the art of ninjutsu.

                                          On the third day he rose, so they gave him cement boots and made damn sure he wouldn't rise again. Walk on water my ass.

                                          Malta is awesome and completely backwards. I was there in 2010 visiting my buddy who moved there from Montreal. The buses (at the time) varied from 1940s - 1990s. Some of them could barely make it up the hills in first gear. BUT, the taxi cabs had wifi, which we don't even have in Canada. Weird.

                                          There is another one in Key Largo, Florida. I have dove that several times when I was a kid. No one ever believed me that the statue is covered in Fire Coral. That shit burns like a motherfucker. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christ_of_the_Abyss

                                          Its actually called Christ Of The Abyss. I recall reading somewhere about how there is more than one although the others are hidden and if you find them all and plot the points you find something, has anyone else heard anything like this?

                                          so is the size of this thing about perception, because that starfish on his hand is about the same size as the diver if it isnt....
