00:30It's actually one of only two places in Malta that you can see the religious statue.

00:36One is the Madonna in Chikawa and then this one is the Statue of Jesus.

00:42The wreck and the statue are underwater purposely sunk for divers as attractions.

01:00It's of significance for the divers, a lot of the divers here.

01:27They'll touch the forehead of the Christ and there's a little sort of bald spot on his head.

01:33They touch that for luck.

01:41Well, Malta gets 160,000 divers a year.

01:44Not everyone can actually dive this site.

01:46You need to be at least advanced open water with a deep specialty because she's 36 metres to the floor.

01:55But she attracts a lot of people.

01:58I mean, some days there'll be 20 to 30 divers a day during summer.

02:02One of the funniest things I've ever seen on the statue is two very large urchins that had actually grown under the armpits of Jesus.

02:15And it looked like he had extremely hairy armpits.

02:17It's a very peaceful dive site.

02:30There's a lot of fish around the area and it's very, very scenic.

02:33It's like a horseshoe shape with the statue in the middle on white sand and you have these nice reefs around you.

02:40It's a very, very peaceful site.

02:42It's a very peaceful site.
