The reef offers colourful scenery and a very good variety of reef fish. Along the southern plateau it the Arch and face of the Pharaoh. Schools of surgeon fish dwell in the arch and as you ascend to your safety stops its possible to observe the large silvertips along the plateau.

Other news of interest....

Do you fancy diving some where slightly different, have a look below....

  • Austria
Diver exploring a pristine Alpine Park that turns into an inland lake for half of the year.

On the bed of this lake underwater explorers will discover fish swimming though the branches of trees, a floor covered in grass, benches, bridges and a landscape that usually belongs overground.

As temperatures begin to rise in spring, the ice and snow on the surrounding mountaintops begin to melt and runs down into the basin of land below. This park usually used for hiking soon fills up with ice-cold crystal clear water and is great for diving when the waters are at their highest in June.

  • Mexico
Mexico set to open the world's largest underwater museum in Cancun



This project is called The Museo Subacuatico de Arte (MUSA) and is aiming to ease pressure on nearby natural reefs which are struggling to deal with the half a million water-going tourists who flock to the area every year.








The 'life casts' figures are made from PH neutral concrete which will encourage coral to grow.

It is hoped the new sculptures will produce a coral reef system and attract a variety of aquatic creatures to the Cancun and Isla Mujeres National Marine Park.


Due to the coral growth the appearance of the figures will constantly change with time.
