MUSA (Underwater Museum of Art)

MUSA (Underwater Museum of Art) is an underwater sculpture park located off Cancun, Mexico, in the Caribbean Sea. The site features over 500 submerged sculptures that were deliberately placed on the seafloor, where they have developed into a thriving artificial marine ecosystem. Dives reach a maximum depth of 10 metres (30 feet), making it one of the more accessible sites in the area.

The site is reached by boat from the marina, with a navigation time of roughly 30 to 60 minutes depending on the departure schedule. Dives last approximately 30 to 45 minutes. Light current and great visibility are typical conditions, and water temperature sits between 26 and 29 °C year-round.

The sculpture habitat supports a wide range of marine life, including lobsters, sea turtles, loggerhead turtles, green moray eels, moray eels, crabs, nurse sharks, stingrays, octopuses, barracudas, eagle rays, scorpion fish, and over 100 species of tropical fish, all of which have colonised the structures.
