Underwater Museum in Cancun

Cancun seems to be in constant development in 2010.
This year has brought many many new things that definitely help us take the final
decision that it is a must-do activity to return to this popular Caribbean destination.

The beach recovery has left Cancun beaches with spectacular, long sandy beaches! Perfect place to take a breath, and sit down - playing with the new brightly white sand in our hands,to wonder the amazing turquoise Ocean view, and don't think of any common stressful thought, just simply sit and enjoy the sound of waves passing by.

Ok, but after you have recharged your energies, you feel like you need something
really special! Here we are! An Underwater museum with underwater sculptures!
Another new and unique monument in Cancun! Actually, the largest underwater museum in our World! A magical area between Cancun and the island in front of Cancun, called Isla Mujeres (half an hour on ferry to cross) will be the home place of this museum, within the Marine Natural Park.

You have to submerge to the depth of 3 to 6 meters in the Caribbean Sea to see the pieces exposed, approximately 400 sculptures!!! The artist is a recognized British sculptor, Jason de Caires Taylor. The theme of the sculptures will vary; there will be local Mayan theme pieces, and other moments of our everyday life. One sculpture that is called the “Dream Catcher” cannot wait YOUR message! Yes, yes, YOUR message! Since you can put in a bottle your message and leave it there attached to this sculpture! The first message belongs to Lic. Roberto Diaz Abraham, the President of the Underwater Museum, tells: “May our hearts, never become as hard as our heads”.

Beside to be a new attraction at this well-known tourist destination, another very important point of the underwater museum is that it is a real Green, eco-project with the aim to create more coral reefs and conserve the existing ones. The coral reefs help the ecosystem to restore the bigger and bigger damages of the global warming that is why it has such a big importance.

By now, the next step is to sink about 250 sculptures by April 2010. All of us cannot wait to hear more news about this unique Underwater museum!
