Mexico Holidays Dive into Cancun to Appreciate Sculpture

I've seen a lot of sculptures on land. Have you ever tried to appreciate the sculptures sunk into the sea from the water? You must wonder why the sculpture went to the bottom of the sea? Not because of the shipwreck, but because someone intentionally did it?

　　

　　

There is a country in Cancun, Mexico's famous resort Ocean Park There are a large group of people, animals, tables, chairs, stools and other stone sculptures at the bottom of the sea. Tourists can wear snorkeling glasses to enjoy these lifelike sculptures from the water surface to the shallow sea bottom. It is said that this idea is based on the consideration of local environmental protection. Because Cancun is so popular, it receives millions of tourists every year, which brings unprecedented pressure to the surrounding fragile natural environment and coral reefs. Therefore, the local government decided to sink these sculptures into the seabed of the designated area, so that these artificial underwater sculptures can attract those divers who want to explore the underwater world around Cancun, so that they can enjoy the unique scenery while satisfying the diving pleasure.

 

　　

There are more than 400 sculptures in this group, which are basically sculptures of characters, such as men reading books, dancing girls, pregnant women, men watching TV, and some cars, tables and chairs. In order to protect the ecological balance, these sculptures are made of ecological concrete with balanced pH, which can allow marine creatures to inhabit their uneven surfaces. However, it is precisely because of this special structure that these figure statues look a bit strange when placed on the sea floor. Because there are many microorganisms on the sea floor, many green seaweeds have grown rapidly on the sculptures, which are still very lush. So many statues are showing a strange green color, and the cowards may be scared.

　　

Information: This group of underwater sculptures is located at the bottom of ISLA MUJELES Women's Island in Cancun, and is free to visit. If you depart from the mainland of China, you can take a plane to Los Angeles, and then transfer to Cancun. The beach of Cancun Women's Island once appeared in the movie Pirates of the Caribbean, which is very popular.
