Dive-site story
MUSAN (Museum of Underwater Sculpture Ayia Napa) is an underwater sculpture forest conceived by artist Jason deCaires Taylor off Pernera Beach. Submerged figurative statues and sculptural trees sit on a flat, sandy seabed designed to attract colonization by local marine fauna. The shallow depth and calm Mediterranean setting make it widely accessible for divers of all experience levels and snorkelers alike.
Dozens of figurative sculptures arranged like a sunken forest
Artificial reef structures designed to promote local bio-colonization
Accessible underwater photography environment with sandy bottom and calm waters
