This is amazing! I love it!
I am not a swimmer nor a diver (although I would like to be) but lemme tell ya, this underwater cemetery is just toooo cool! I’d LOVE to be buried there! I can only think of one or two friends who dive so my visitors would be few, but it just looks so amazing. Makes me want to learn to dive so I can check it out. I’ll be sure to put that on my “Things To Do Before I Die” list.

Artificial reef near Miami is cemetery, diving attraction
By LISA ORKIN EMMANUEL, Associated Press Writer
A pair of porkfish and sergeant major fish swim near a section
of the Neptune Memorial Reef 45 feet under the surface Tuesday, April 29, 2008,
3.25 miles off the coast of Key Biscayne, Fla. Creators of the reef hope it will
become a memorial for the dead and a diving site. Instead of a burial funeral,
people can pay to have their remains placed in one the reef’s structures after
their death. (AP Photo/Wilfredo Lee)
(AP) — About 45
feet beneath the ocean’s surface lies a cemetery with gates, pathways, plaques
and even benches. The Neptune Memorial Reef, which opened last fall, is seen by
its creators as a perfect final resting spot for those who loved the sea. They
hope that one day the reef will cover 16 acres and have room for 125,000
remains. |
