Have you ever visited underwater museum? I have to admit that this idea sounds very nice and exciting. Cancun authorities certainly do know that and they decided to build there world’s largest underwater museum.



Underwater museum is going to be placed at the National Park West Coast of Isla Mujeres in Cancun. Cancun is already known as one of the most attractive touristic destinations of the world and when they get finished this museum they will become more attractive certainly.

This place is visited by more than 700,000 tourists every year. When museum is finished there will be about 400 different concrete sculptures placed in it.





Key Largo’s Pennecamp celebrates its 50th anniversary.



America’s first underwater park, Key Largo’s Pennekamp, will celebrate its 50th anniversary this December.



John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park will mark the milestone from December 1-11, 2010 in Key Largo.



Named for newspaper editor John Pennekamp who worked to establish it, the park was dedicated on December 10, 1960.



Every year, the park attracts 1 million plus visitors to its nature trails and beaches where underwater wildlife inhabit its 70 square nautical miles.



The 50th anniversary celebration will spotlight the park’s history and mission of protecting and preserving the natural resources within its boundaries.


A main draw of the 11-day celebration will be the keynote speech by Dr. Sylvia Earle, Time magazine’s first Hero for the Planet.

Other highlights will include a photographic competition; record snorkeling event; underwater re-dedication ceremony; educational fair and environmental expo.


For the end,something for fun
