Getting padi certified in Cancun? F.A.Q.

Underwater Museum MUSA..
The Cancún Underwater Museum (MUSA) is a stunning blend of artistic vision and environmental stewardship.
Located between Cancún and Isla Mujeres, this unique underwater gallery features over 500 life-size sculptures, carefully placed to foster marine ecosystems and alleviate dive pressure on natural coral reefs

Why Visit MUSA?

*Art + Conservation: A one-of-a-kind fusion of creativity and ecological regeneration.
Multiple Access Points: Whether you're diving, snorkeling, or sightseeing from a boat, there's an experience suited to you
Photographic Goldmine: The surreal imagery makes for incredible underwater photos

*Can I snorkel at MUSA or is it only for divers?

Yes! You can snorkel at Punta Nizuc’s shallow galleries (~4–6 m deep) and see sculptures from the surface.
But deeper galleries like Manchones (~8–10 m) are much better experienced while scuba diving

Do I need scuba certification to visit MUSA?

No—MUSA welcomes both snorkelers and non-certified divers. Certified divers can dive freely among the deeper galleries, while beginners can join a PADI “Discover Scuba” program that includes pool training and a guided first dive

Which is better—snorkeling or scuba diving at MUSA?

Scuba diving offers a richer experience—closer views of sculptures, better visibility, and a chance to explore multiple galleries and reef areas. Snorkeling is more limited: you’ll only float above one shallow cluster and visibility depends on sea conditions .

Where are the main sculpture galleries, and what depths are they?

Punta Nizuc (Cancún) – 3–6 m deep, ideal for snorkeling or glass-bottom boats Manchones Gallery (Isla Mujeres) – ~8–10 m depth, best visited via scuba diving; contains most sculptures (400–500 pieces).

What marine life and sculptures can I expect to see?

Sculptures: “Silent Evolution,” “Urban Reef,” VW Beetle “Anthropocene,” “Man on Fire,” “The Bankers,” and “Dream Collector”
Marine Life: Corals, sponges, reef fish, turtles, rays, occasionally urchins, lobsters, moray eels .
