Dive Journal: This is another mini-wall pretty close to Dive 49, located just a bit further north. The site is even more beautiful. Early in the dive, we catch sight of a gorgeous spotted eagle ray soaring slowly beneath us. Very nice!

We stop to examine a huge vase sponge full of gobies, maybe 25 of them all huddling around the interior. There are also lots of brittle stars and cleaner shirmp.

Nearing the end of the dive, we spot 3 Caribbean reef squid and we get quite close to them. Breeze also locates an eel snake, grey with white spots.
