The man-made reef will be an underwater sculptural environment for divers to explore and marine life to inhabit. The Rapa Nui Reef is expected to quickly become an international dive sensation. <br> <br><strong><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>About Rapa Nui </span></strong><br>Rapa Nui are the native Polynesian inhabitants of Easter Island. The artistic reef serves as a tribute to the stone figures (Moai) on that remote island. The 15 Moai, ranging from heights of six to 22 feet, are displayed over concrete structures organized to facilitate the growth of marine life. The entire sculpture is affixed to a 150' by 45' by 9' steel barge to allow for stability, transportation and sinking. This new reef will be sunk in 70 feet of water between the second and third reef directly off of the Deerfield Beach International Fishing Pier. <br> <br>The City of Deerfield Beach, the Women's Club of Deerfield Beach, Dixie Divers and benefactor Margaret Blume would like to invite the media and the public to a weekend long celebration that concludes with the sinking of the mighty Rapa Nui Reef. Below is the scheduled list of events to celebrate this momentous occasion. Media instructions are also included for those who are interested in photo opportunities with the Moai before they are sunk and press coverage of the actual sinking of the barge. <br> <br>The following is the list of scheduled events, weather permitting: <br> <br><strong><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The Voyage! </span></strong><b><br><strong><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Thursday & Friday, June 4th & 5th, 2015 </span></strong></b><br>The Rapa Nui Reef barge will make its voyage along the Intracoastal waterway beginning from Stuart Florida and ending at 2 Georges at the Cove, 1754 SE 3 Ct, Deerfield Beach, Florida 33441.
