About This Dive Spot
El Aguila, also known as The Eagle, is a notable wreck dive located near Baileys Key and Anthony’s Key Resort. Originally a concrete freighter, it was sunk off Utila and later raised, modified for diving, and resunk in 1997 by a group of local dive shops. The wreck attracts various marine life, including large groupers, barracuda, tuna, and both reef and grey sharks, making it a dynamic dive site. The entry to the site is from the shore.
