Facts
- Region: Honduras – Roatán
- Area: South shore (CoCo View – French Harbour – airport)
- Depth: 13–18 m
- Level: intermediate
- Current: low
- Type: wreck
- Coordinates: 16.348363, -86.446089
- Highlights: small cargo-ship wreck, jawfish on sand flats, occasional seahorses
- Permit: Roatán Marine Park (RMP) user fee: the park's own page calls it a 'voluntary user fee' of US$10 and gives a bracelet/token in return; it is sold at the RMP EcoStore in West End and at partner dive shops and resorts. In practice dive operators ask divers to hold it before diving the park's reefs (one operator lists US$10 per year or US$3 per day), so treat it as required and confirm the current amount and validity with the park or your shop. The fee funds the mooring buoys and reef patrols.

- Tips: Good first wreck for newer divers because of the modest depth. Dived from CoCo View boats.
