El Aguila (Wreck)

★★★★★ (1,983)

El Aguila (The Eagle) is Roatan’s most popular wreck dive and is located just off Baileys Key and Anthony’s Key Resort. It was a concrete freighter and sunk off Utila. The wreck was raised, stripped out for diving, and then sunk again by a consortium of dive shops on the island in 1997.

Large grouper, barracuda, tuna, and sharks like the reef and grey sharks can be spotted around the wreck.
