Underwater Museums

Underwater explorations in the Peninsula of Yucatan in Mexico have been developing amazing discoveries, some of them talks about the first inhabitants in America that coexist over 14,000 years ago with Pleistocene mega fauna like mammoths, bisons, saber tooth tigers and some others creatures.

Later, the prehispanic Mayas used to throw valued artifacts into the cenotes and even sacrificed people in rites and ceremonies for their gods like goddess Ixchel and god Chac. Now is also known that some cenotes were selected sites for burial as a begining endless life.

Later, the discovery of the New World opens a new era of exploration. The unknowing of the area coupled with the continuous attacks of pirates caused a big number of shipwrecks, especially during the time of discovery and conquest of Mexico.

We are an experience group of Mexican underwater researchers who has been involved in many of these findings around the Mexican Caribbean and the Peninsula of Yucatan which now, and after being studied and published, we are in the possibility to share them with you.
