Cancún Underwater Museum of Art (MUSA)
Museo Subacuático de Arte
More than 500 concrete sculptures, each life-size, rest on the seafloor as an artificial reef. You can explore them by snorkeling, scuba diving or from a glass-bottom boat.
MUSA opened in 2009. Its main installations lie on the Manchones reef between Isla Mujeres and Cancún, and around Punta Nizuc. The signature work, The Silent Evolution, consists of hundreds of human figures. The shallow zone, at 3–4 meters deep, suits snorkelers, while the deeper area, at 8–10 meters, is suitable for divers. Visits must be arranged through a local dive shop or tour boat. Snorkeling trips cost about US$50–80, plus a marine park fee. Please use biodegradable sunscreen.
Opening hours
Group boat tours, several departures about 09:00–16:00
