Odyssey Wreck
Large steel ship sunk as an artificial reef off Sandy Bay, bigger than El Aguila and lying on sand within swimming distance of the reef wall. Anthony's Key describes it as a roughly 90 m multi-level wreck (top of the mast about 12 m, stern about 36 m) that needs several dives to see in full; Roatán Divers adds a fun swim-through and notes dives often end on the wall. Position = Roatán Marine Park mooring buoy for this site (RMP 'dive sites' map, Sept 2026 list).
Facts

- Depth: 12–36 m
- Level: advanced

- Coordinates: 16.352272, -86.544293
- Highlights: multi-level wreck, swim-through, wreck-to-wall dive, mast rising to about 12 m
- 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.
