Dive Journal: In the afternoon, we head again to the locale just north of Long Caye. Breeze calls this site "The Aquarium." The sun has appeared and the visibility is now great.

This is the best Belize dive we've ever done! The fish life is very abundant. There are HUGE streaming schools of Creole wrasses, blue chromis and hogfish that seem to continue on for miles. They are soaring over the reef features in massive highways, creating a wonderland scene.

There are dozens of large groupers sighted everywhere, especially at cleaning stations. A medium-sized school of jacks swims by, making a close pass. We spy a solitary great barracuda, and also a large Spanish mackerel.

A thoroughly enjoyable dive, the best of the trip. The jerk Gary also announced that he saw sharks at this site, but he also scared them away in front of us (to make sure only he saw them).
