Teresa, I am sure you know of the Key Largo version of this statue, an easy freedive at 25 feet. Please post your plans here ahead of time, I am sure others including myself would volunteer to video your achievement! :cool2:

I'd love to do both, but if I had to choose I'd pick the one in Portofino.

It stands in 56 ft (17m) of water. The hands are at about 40' which is a very easy freedive for me. At that depth I would have plenty of time to swim around it and take in the view.

The absence of Fire coral would allow me to "touch the right hand" without gloves or fear of stings.

I agree the choice of music was not the best (The "Masked Ball" scene from the movie "Eyes Wide Shut"). But that's not the music I would have in my head while diving. :wavey:
