Last week I went down to Mexico and was lucky enough to go diving off of Puerto Morelos at a wreck site and at the National Park Arrecife de Puerto Morelos. The current was pretty strong, so visibility wasn't ideal, but it was still a great trip. Here's some pics for everyone to enjoy!

I just wish that the tide wasn't so strong. The boat almost capsized when they brought us out to the wreck site and because of the current, we really couldn't go that far into the ship. So much setiment was kicked up that visibility was only about 30 feet compared to the usual 100+ found on the Mexican reefs.

Really nice Swanny. I love wreck dives. I think that was a 50 cal. cannon on the bow in one of those shots! Spotted Eagle Rays are beautiful too. Great pics. Thanks so much for sharing!

Not sure if it was a .50 cal or not, but definitely some sort of anti-air cannon. There was sponges and algae covering the entire breach and the end of the barrel, so it was impossible to get a solid ID
