Deep/multilevel dive. 90 ft maximum depth. Decent line. Scuttled in October of 2000, this WWII era US Navy gun ship is now fully encrusted in coral growth. Home to sting rays, eels and barracuda. When in season, spotted eagle rays can be seen flying over the wreck. Schools of bait fish and their predators can often be seen.

C56 shipwreck well worth checking out...
Went there for my AOW deep dive. I’ve been on 25+ dives in Puerto Morelos and have been to popular spots like Jardines, Quavo, Aquario, fish market etc. but this was by far my favorite.
