El Aguila
El Aguila
Depth Range: 25-95ft (8-28m)
Access: Boat
Difficulty: Intermediate


The wreck of the Aguila (Eagle) lies in about 95ft of water, approximately 10 minutes east of the West End. The hull lies on its starboard side about 100ft from the base of the reef wall. Prior to Hurricane Mitch the wreck was a good dive, though the hull was fairly intact so seeing the inside of the wreck was difficult. Mitch, however, has made this a great dive, breaking the hull into three sections allowing divers to view the interior.

Adjacent to the boat runs the wall to finish off the dive among the shallow water tropical fish. Look out for the moray eel, which sometimes follows divers around the wreck!

 

Odyessy Wreck
Odyessy Wreck
Depth Range: 30-80ft (10-25m)
Access: Boat
Difficulty: intermediate

Odyssey is a 300 freighter that was sunk in November 2002. Although there is little growth on the vessel itself, many large Grouper and Dog Fish call it home. The ship is basically intact, although one of the cargo holds supports dislodged during sinking. The superstructure is intact and can be penetrated. It sits about 110 feet to the sand. Swimming up, around the superstructure, and through the stairwells is a lot of fun. There is a table and attached stools that makes a neat photo. The top of the structure is at 40 feet with the reef wall a 3-minute swim away

The Prince Albert
Depth Range: 22-70ft+ (7-22m)
Access: Boat or Shore
Difficulty: Intermediate

A 140ft tanker sunk in 1985 just off the shore at Coco View resort. It was the first wreck to be intentionally sunk for scuba divers in the Bay Islands. Macro photography can be excellent on the outside hull with many years of colourful coral growth. The interior spaces are accessible for advanced divers. As an added treat, 30 meters off the bow of the wreck is the empty shell of a DC-3 aircraft!
