FLORIDA — An underwater mausoleum off Miami’s coast is giving all new meaning to being buried at – or in this case under – sea. The magnificent Neptune Memorial Reef, which was modeled after The Lost City of Atlantis, is an under-the-sea city for the dead and living.
The Neptune Memorial Reef is located 40 feet underwater at the coordinates N25° 42.036’, W80° 05.409’ and is the largest ever manmade reef, covering more than 16 acres of the ocean’s floor.
In addition to being an amazing underwater tribute to a remembrance of human life, the structures have also contributed to marine life. Local businesses, such as boat chartering, snorkeling and diving, have also benefitted from the mausoleum.
