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!
