"Odyssey Wreck, a 300ft long and 50ft wide cargo ship, is known as Roatan's largest underwater wreck. This cargo ship was intentionally sunk in November 2002. The bow of the wreck is sitting at an angle of almost 90 degrees, while the superstructure of the stern is sitting at a 30 degree angle, which makes swimming through quite interesting. With stern's many levels of railings and stairways, there are countless opportunities for exploration. Unfortunately, the center section has collapsed from the powerful surge of several cold fronts.
