The reconfigured clay sculpture is now on display at the National Museum of Underwater Activities in Ravenna, Italy.[1] Three bronze statuesItaly (1954)The original bronze statue was placed in the Mediterranean Sea on 22 August 1954, at approximately {{convert|17|m}} depth, and stands {{convert|2.5|m|ft|0}} tall.{{cn|date=March 2015}} It was sculpted by Guido Galletti, based on an idea of Italian diving instructor {{ill|Duilio Marcante|it}}. The statue was placed near the spot where Dario Gonzatti, the first Italian to use SCUBA gear, died in 1947.{{cn|date=March 2015}} It depicts Christ offering a benediction of peace, with his head and hands raised skyward. The statue was subsequently dedicated to the memory of Marcante.[2] Due to increasing amounts of corrosion and the growth of crustaceans, the statue was removed from the water and restored in 2003. A hand that had been detached, presumably by an anchor, was also replaced.[1] The statue was returned to the water with a new base on 17 July 2004.{{cn|date=March 2015}} The statue was cleaned in 2018.[3] Grenada (1961)A second bronze sculpture, cast from the same mold as the original bronze statue, exists off the coast of St. George's, Grenada.

The sculpture was placed underwater on October 22, 1961.{{cn|date=March 2015}} U.S. (1962)A third bronze statue, from the original mold, was presented to the Underwater Society of America in New York in 1962, and shipped by boat to Chicago, where it was set up for unveiling in the ballroom of the Palmer House Hotel at the Underwater Society of America 1962 convention.
