MUSA Isla Mujeres - The Cancun Underwater Museum - The beauty of conservation

Hi guys, today I would do a quick review of an attraction I just discovered, The Cancun Underwater museum. (A.K.A MUSA) in Cancun Mexico. Sit tight and enjoy. The images are breathtaking.... Literally.

Jaime Gonzalez Canto and Jason deCaires Taylor began to create the plans for an underwater museum that would be formed by nature into a coral reef in the early periods of 2008.

She was to be called The Cancún Underwater Museum ( Museo Subacuático de Arte, (MUSA)), and made a full non-profit organization devoted to conservation of marine life and art. Currently, MUSA has a total of 500 sculptures, most by the British sculptor Jason deCaires Taylor and others by five Mexican sculptors.

MUSA obtained a permit from the National Marine Park administrators to sink 1,200 structures in 10 separate areas. So far only two of the ten have been developed. Manchones reef which contains 477 sculptures and 23 structures at Punta Nizuc.

Tourists, snorkelers, and scuba divers, tour the underwater exhibits via a glass-bottom boat. And those with diving skills go down not the water to face the sculptures eye to eye

The museum was thought up by Marine Park Director Jaime Gonzalez Canto, with the sculpture Taylor's assistance, with major aim of saving the nearby coral reefs by providing for divers and snorkelers an alternative location where man made reef life can thrive. The Cancun Underwater Museum was started officially opened in November 2010.
