Halliburton Wreck

Cargo ship of about 30 m sunk on purpose at the mouth of Utila harbour (We-Dive says 1998, another guide 2001) and now an artificial reef covered in sponges and coral. Sources agree it is Utila's largest wreck but disagree on depth: We-Dive gives the deepest point about 30 m, main deck about 26 m and bridge top about 20 m, other guides about 30-35 m. Green morays, fire worms and sea slugs are found on it, and parts are enterable.
