America's first underwater state park — snorkel tours, glass-bottom boats, and the famous submerged Christ of the Abyss statue.
Why It’s Worth Your Time
John Pennekamp covers 70 nautical square miles of protected reef — the top underwater park in the US. The Christ of the Abyss statue (submerged 25 feet below the surface) is the single most iconic underwater landmark in the Florida Keys. Half-day snorkel tours depart at 9am and 1:30pm. Glass-bottom boats for non-swimmers. Kayak rentals for the mangrove trails.
