The nation's first underwater memorial honoring America's veterans opens to divers in Clearwater, Florida, this week.
Located roughly 10 miles off the shore of Clearwater and at a depth of 40 feet, the Circle of Heroes memorial displays 12 life-size concrete statues representing the men and women from the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard.
Divers first explored the new site on Monday following the memorial's dedication and ribbon cutting ceremony. The memorial will also serve as an artificial reef in the Gulf of Mexico and bring dive-related tourism to the area.
