Great Maya Reef

great maya reef exhibitTake an underwater adventure into a submerged Maya city!

The 4,200 square-foot Great Maya Reef takes you below the water's surface to the mysterious remains of an ancient Mayan city, submerged long ago and now inhabited by tropical marine life.

Your adventure begins as you enter a 30-foot tunnel and find yourself surrounded by brilliant and varied sea creatures, swimming amidst monumental Mayan ruins. This underwater world is alive with parrotfish, angelfish, moray eels, slipper lobsters, and other reef residents, slipping in and out of colored coral, sunken artifacts, and forgotten treasure.
