Underwater Museum (MUSA)

This is one of Cancun's most unique attractions. The Underwater Museum (MUSA) is made up of hundreds of sunken statues sculpted by artist Jason deCaires Taylor. The statues are covered in coral, which benefits the environment in two ways... by creating an "artificial reef" and by directing some of the traffic away from the natural reefs. Snorkel and dive tours are offered by many Cancun vendors, including Aquaworld Cancun, which has been a big supporter of the Cancun Underwater Museum project from its inception. There are three locations of the underwater museum; off of Punta Cancun, off of Punta Nizuc and off of Isla Mujeres.
