Cancun: Aquaworld Scuba Diving School

10. Cancun: Aquaworld Scuba Diving School

The best way to explore the underwater world of Cancun is, no doubt, by scuba diving. Learn to dive for the first time with a professional diver and discover the wonderful sea life of the Mexican Caribbean. Choose between visiting the colorful Manchones Reef or the mysterious Underwater Museum of Art, also known as MUSA. Both diving locations are home to hundreds of tropical fish, corals, starfish, turtles, and rays. Manchones is a shallow reef located close to Isla Mujeres (Spanish for Island of Women). It’s very common to see turtles here as well as lots of other colorful reef fish and sea life. The Underwater Museum of Art (MUSA) consists of two main locations. The deeper section is great for diving while the shallower part is great for non-divers and snorkelers. During your MUSA dive, see over 450 life-sized statues which are now covered with algae and the coral reef. This man-made reef attracts all kinds of underwater life: the crevices of the sculptures provide great hiding places for fish to breed and inhabit.

After we had only seen one sculpture of the underwater museum and pointed it out, the guide explained to us that there weren’t any good swimmers in our group and that’s why he made a shortcut near the boat and we were happy to swim out again afterwards and that’s how it was then too. We saw more sculptures and a ray and a turtle and were on the road for a total of 1.5 hours. Very successful and great! In addition, drinking is included and you have a boat tour of about 20 minutes there and 20 minutes back. Very nicely done. Clear recommendation!

We enjoyed the snorkeling trip very much. It short but plenty of time to see the underwater museum and lots of fish. Very efficient and the crew were very nice. It included water, soda, beer and tequila. I would highly recommend the tour.

It was a great experience with the kids. The staffs were very friendly. They helped us to explore the main things then we swim ourselves for 2 hours and cathed the boat accordingly. Overall very good experience and kids enjoyed a lot.
