You can see something truly unique at the underwater Museum of Art MUSA! At this popular Isla Mujeres scuba dive site, you can expect a variation of sculptures in very thoughtful arrangements, creating a different scenery every few meters. The crystal clear turquoise waters, very little current, and amazing visibility, at about 29c in a max depth of 85m make the conditions perfect for a scuba dive learning environment or just for a fun dive or snorkel tour.
This underwater museum is to benefit the protection of the coral reefs and each statue is made with PH-neutral marine concrete. Coral, seaweed, and algae can grow and develop better than on an old ship. The statues also feature holes, allowing marine wildlife to colonize and feed off the coral. Coral reefs will increase but so will the marine life. After only a short time in the water, the statues began to change and nature started to do its part in growing. In 2015, 250,000 people decided to go to MUSA instead of the natural reef so the stress to the natural reef is decreased.
