Highlights / General details
Submerge yourself in one of the most beautiful and clear waters of the world: The Mexican Caribbean. These crystal clear waters are the home to one of the largest underwater museums on the planet, located in Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico. Forming this museum you will find a series of underwater sculptural installations all sited within the protected National Marine Park, of the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico.
Divers and snorkelers will have the opportunity to admire more than 400 original sculptures in depths ranging from 9 to 20 feet. The artist behind the project, British Artist Jason de Caires Taylor offers a contemporary and cultural view of how the Mayan people have evolved throughout the years in “The Silent Evolution”; he has gained international recognition for this unique work.
Environmentally Friendly! The sculptures are all designed to become artificial reefs and are constructed from special materials, which promote marine life and create areas for corals to flourish and marine creatures to breed and take refuge, boosting the local ecosystem. You cannot miss it!
