The very strong PH-balanced concrete statues of the Underwater (artificial reef) Museum are from Puerto Morelos and Cancun as well as some foreigners too. Including Amandeep Banjou, a BBC correspondent or The Dream Collector, British father of Jasons. History. The growth of the sea life including coral polyps are helping our ocean by renewing additional reef area for the living... More

Statues of people have been submerged to form a new reef (similar to sinking old ships so a reef can develop). It was eerie to see them and all their different postures and expressions. I snorkeled, so was confined to viewing them from afar...I think if you saw them closer via scuba, it would be fascinating.

After a while the reefs take on the appearance of being mostly the same, however, the Cancun Underwater Museum is a pleasant change for snorkeling off the coast of Cancun and offshore from Isla Mujeres. The sunken statues to soon become reefs of their own are a brilliant idea and sight to see for all. I highly recommend it to... More

We sought out Lorenzo Sousa to take us snorkeling for the day....seeing the Underwater Museum is worth your time. It's amazing and something you'll probably never see anywhere else --- it's very cool!

The statues are so far below the surface that it's hard to see any detail on them. I was taken here on a snorkeling trip, and we only spent about 15 minutes looking around. It would be more interesting as a dive so that you could fully explore the statues and look for the beginnings of an artificial reef forming.... More

As a snorkeler and scuba diver it was nice to see something different. An easy dive with a unique view for sure.

Solo Buceo Divers at Dreams Hotel were fantastic! Their photo/videographer Alexjandra Garcia Ponce was great and took a fantastic array of still shots and did a great job editing the video, for only 75$ US. Shallow 30-35 ft dive but the sculptures are great to see. take your underwater camera! My D20 Canon got some great pick at that depth... More

I surely wouldn't come to Cancun to dive this site, but it is certainly worth the time if you're already here. I loved floating among these people, and knowing they are molds of actual locals gives it so much depth. I didn't know there were VW bugs down there, so to see one slowly appear before my eyes was amazing.... More

I went out here on a snorkeling tour and saw basically three things: one huge installation of standing human forms, a sunken newer model VW bug, and a set of 4 statues of human forms that were kneeling and had their heads buried in the sand. Our tour guide showed us the three spots and we were done in about... More
