Cancun Underwater Museum
The Underwater Museum Cancun, can boast of being the most famous sculpture museum underwater in the world. It is a privilege to visit this place that is devoted to the conservation of this area.
When snorkeling and scuba diving at MUSA you can witness the marvelous way marine life is gradually enveloping every single inch of the more than 400 statues that have been made by mankind to add to the naturally beautiful coral reefs that are already here.
What has been added to the delectation of divers and snorkelers, Every single statue has a story to tell. Meanwhile, life begins for the thousands of creatures who are coming to live in and around each statue.
There are programs for both beginners and certified divers to enjoy quality diving, wrapped in a beautiful Caribbean that never ceases to amaze.
The idea of the MUSA eco project began to take shape in 2009. The aim from the start was to make an artificial reef that featured sculptures made out of marine concrete. Initially, algae formed on the statues and then tiny polyps began to grow. As a result, many of the monuments are now caked in algae while others show off some incredible reef formations that make the facial features on some of the statues distort to look amazing!
The Cancun Underwater Museum main part is known as Silent Evolution. Here there are 450 statues with accompanying marine life and coral that is protected from inclement weather conditions. There were only two things in mind when the statues were created and placed here: conservation of Cancun’s existing natural reefs and provision of new fish and sea life havens.
