Virtual SA: Underwater Museum Cancun- MUSA

 

Beautiful...Other-Worldly...and sometimes downright creepy...

Mexico has 3 of these underwater museums. One is in shallower waters and can be easily snorkeled.  The other two are deep and required scuba gear.

Some stand in large groups.

Some sit alone.


They are life-sized...including the car.

Over 400 statues.

One is a couch potato...with a life size sofa , a snack, and his TV.

The brainchild of 6 sculptor/artists, MUSA functions not only to draw tourists, but to help rebuild the coral reefs and provide homes for reef life.

Surprisingly, it was just an idea in 2009...and by 2010 was open and operational. Now, 13 years out it is well known throughout the world and the barnacles, coral, flora and marine life have settled in to call it home.

There are snorkeling tours...glass bottom boats and deep diving scuba tours.
