Power boats can also be rented.
In addition to the natural coral life vortex below, interested divers can also catch a glimpse of Christ in the Abyss, an 8 1/2-foot 4000-pound bronze sculpture of Jesus — a replica of a similar sculpture near the coast of Genoa, Italy, in the Mediterranean. If you are not suitable for entering or entering the water, you can experience the beauty there at the visitor center, where there is an excellent 30,000 gallon aquarium showing live corals, tropical fish and plants, and a theater showing continuous nature videos.
The park offers wonderful programs led by rangers, including nature walks in mangroves and hardwood hammocks, campfire programs and lecture series.
