Sight sea-ing in Mexico

 

If you don't have sea legs then Mexico's newest tourist attraction may not float your boat - the country is gearing up to open the world's largest underwater museum in tourist mecca Cancun - and the first of 400 sculptures will be placed under the water off the coast of the Yucatan Peninsula next month...

Let's start with a little bit of history - a whopping 300,000 visitors currently head for the stunning marine and coral life in the West Coast National Park of Isla Mujeres, Punta Cancun and Punta Nizuc each year and the area has become a victim of its own success.

The sheer number of visitors is damaging the fragile coral reefs, so the country had to come up with a way to entice them away to other parts and to help the coral recover and regrow.
