Buddha Statue Under Water- Nusa Lembongan-Indonesia

Whilst holidaying on Nusa Lembongan, a small island near Bali, we went for a 1/2 day snorkelling trip. My wife Fiona and eldest daughter Hannah made this amazing discovery.

Its a 2.5M high seated BUDDHA surrounded by 4 inward facing and 4 outward facing statues and 8 bell like chamber structures on an outer square. Indeed it has Borobudur temple like features. The Buddha is facing North and located at the entrance to the Ceningan channel.

We are not sure how long this has been here, but looking at the amount of growth probably less than a year. The dive boat guide did not know it was there and we spoke to some other locals who did not know about this. I cannot find any online info of it either so if anyone knows about this please reply.

It almost looks like its some sort of memorial as there is what I suspect is the wing of a small plane. You can see this at the end of the video.

There was a magical aura when we were there and I have tried to depict this in the video.
ENJOY...
