MUSA Underwater Museum
In dreaming up this truly unique museum, sculptor Jason deCaires Taylor envisioned a habitat to reef fish and created an installation of ever-changing art, thanks to the proliferation of corals and sponges. This collection of 450 life-size figures is spread among two locations in the greater Cancún area: Salon Manchones off of Isla Mujeres and Salon Punta Nizuc south of the Hotel Zone. Both welcome snorkelers, and Salon Manchones, in depths between 20 to 30 feet, also permits scuba divers.
