A propos de cette activités
L'excursion de plongée avec tuba débute par une promenade en bateau jusqu'au site de « l'Évolution silencieuse » au large de l'Isla Mujeres. Vous disposerez ensuite de 40 minutes pour plonger avec masque et tuba afin de profiter des sculptures et d'observer la flore marine du musée nager devant vous. Un autre bateau vous ramènera ensuite à la marina de Cancun. Le moyen idéal de commencer votre journée !
Le Musée de sculptures sous-marines est l'attraction la plus nouvelle et la plus spectaculaire de Cancun : une galerie de sculptures sous-marines comptant plus de 500 personnages. Le colossal musée de sculptures sous-marines a été créé dans les eaux environnantes de Cancun, Isla Mujeres et Punta Nizuc en 2009 par Jason DeCaires Taylor, un artiste britannique. Le projet a suscité un grand intérêt dans le monde entier, et restera un projet en cours pour longtemps.
La section principale du musée s'appelle « L'évolution silencieuse » et se compose de 500 figurines de taille humaine moulées dans de l'argile au pH neutre. L'objectif principal du musée étant la préservation, l'argile est utilisée pour contribuer à la croissance marine en vue former une structure complexe dans laquelle diverses formes de vie marine l'habitent ou la colonisent. Au fil du temps, le récif corallien se forme sur chaque sculpture et lui fait changer d'apparence.
Le musée occupe une surface totale de plus de 150 mètres carrés) et pèse plus de 120 tonnes. Le musée formera un jour un écosystème artificiel, où une multitude de poissons et de mammifères marins y prospéreront.

We loved the tour and everything about it. Our guide was Armando, super nice guy! This has been on my list for years and finally got the perfect weather to do it. Would def do it again ! Can't wait to try the diving next time!
It was a decent experience, great crew and captain. I was under impression that we could get closer to statues but we had vests on which is understandable. Pretty exhausting experience, unable to get any pictures, I was under the impression they would have underwater cameras to take pictures for us that we could pay for, that wasn't the case. Decent experience.
The guides were very hospitable and obviously experienced with leading visitors out to the waters. I wish we could have seen more of the underwater museum, even though we spent an hour or more in different parts of it. It's a lot bigger than what we touched, and needs more time. My favourite part was when we went to the shallow water with different corals, and all these colour fish were there. The fish followed us: schools of beautiful yellow, blue ones, and I saw a lot of other rainbow fish and small guys in the corals. I thought the fish were very friendly and then i saw on Youtube they've been trained by tour groups to accept handouts so they think tourists are gonna feed them. It's not a very environmentally friendly practice, BUT, I enjoyed that they came to follow us. It was a Disney moment. Earlier I had been on a snorkel tour of the Belize reef from Caye Caulker and saw more fish here close up than on the larger reef.
This was a really excellent tour. Our tour guide, driver, and assistant were very friendly and helpful. The guide got in the water with us and showed us where to find the statues. She also would take your camera and swim closer to the statues and take pictures for you if you couldn't. When about half the boat was feeling very seasick, she and the driver altered the tour and took us to a really beautiful beach with tide pools. This was such a great decision! We were able to continue exploring around and even snorkel a little in very shallow water without continuing to feel sick. I even saw an octopus! This did not feel like a sub-par backup. It was a really excellent choice for those who were sick. I really thank the guide and driver for this decision, and I didn't have to sit out half the activities for not feeling well. 100% would recommend this tour and Aquaworld to others traveling in Cancun.
It was a great trip! I wish we would of seen more statues. We seen more on the Jungle mini boat tour through Cancun Discounts and we got to driver our own boats on that tour. Other than that the staff were really friendly and made the trip enjoyable.

Wow! It was a fabulous snorkeling adventure and I will cherish the memories forever of our experience exploring and seeing the beautiful colorful tropical fish of all sizes and the underwater museum was amazing and could not believe my eyes at how incredible it looked. I loved the little house and the beetle bug and the many other pieces of art. Our guide was sweet and very attentive to our needs when called upon. The three member Aqua world crew was professional and great fun to be with on our journey to the Underwater Museum. What a fantastic time my family and I had enjoying that day of snorkeling and the speed boat was fun too! Thank you all for giving me and my family a safe and wonderful experience in Cancun, Mexico 2017.
