The Cancun Underwater Museum is the world’s most famous underwater sculpture museum. Scuba diving in this incredible place devoted to conservation of the area. This eco project known as MUSA began in 2009 and now holds over 470 life-sized statues. The idea was to create an artificial reef featuring sculptures made from marine concrete. First algae forms on the underwater statues and then the tiny polyps begin to grow. Some of the figures are now covered with algae and others have some beautiful reef formations making the facial features distorted and eerie looking. At the same time Cancun diving just got more interesting and this is not to be missed during your vacation. The Cancun underwater museum MUSA is definitely one of a kind.
