About El Aguila (Wreck)
El Aguila is Roatan’s signature wreck dive, a deep freighter that now sits as an artificial reef on the island’s north shore. Hurricane Mitch broke the ship into sections, so the site has a fractured but readable layout with open passages, cargo spaces, and strong wreck structure. It is an overhead dive that rewards steady buoyancy and a controlled pace rather than speed. Large grouper, barracuda, tuna, and sharks are part of the draw around the wreck.
