If you like art and water sports in equal measure, there’s one special place in Cancún that will fill your heart with endless joy. One of the world’s leading underwater museums is located close to this city and it’s a heaven on earth for passionate divers looking for an adventure of a lifetime.
Cancún Underwater Museum
Cancún Underwater Museum, also known as MUSA or Museo Subacuático de Arte, opened its doors in 2010. You can visit it by joining one of the diving tours from Isla Mujeres and Cancún, suited for divers of all different levels, with or without the diving certificate.
Journey of a Lifetime
The most impressive thing about this underwater museum is the hundreds of amazing sculptures you can find on the ocean floor. They are the brainchild of the Mexican artist Jason deCaires Taylor, who came up with the idea for this museum with a noble goal in mind.
MUSA’s main purpose is to provide an alternative diving destination in an attempt to minimize the destruction of natural coral reefs in the area. Underwater statues offer a new home to coral reefs and other forms of marine life, in addition to giving passionate divers amazing scenery that they can’t find anywhere else in the world.
