12-36 m wreck range and surge sensitivity on cold-front days.
Roatan's signature deep wreck for experienced divers.
Roatan's signature deep wreck for experienced divers.
A local boat operator is the practical way to reach the wreck and keep the dive conservative around the superstructure and exit path.
The Odyssey is Roatan's signature deep wreck: a large artificial reef with a shallow superstructure, long interior lines, and enough open hull to reward slow, careful exploration. It suits experienced scuba divers who want a big wreck, disciplined buoyancy, and the chance to work the exterior without rushing the site.

Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
12m - 36m
Depth Note
The superstructure is reachable around 12-18 m / 40-60 ft, while the wreck sits around 33-36 m / 110-120 ft on the sand slope.
Best Season
Year-round; calmer weather windows give the easiest ride and the cleanest water.
Typical Conditions
Deep wreck with a visible upper structure, calm-day clarity, and some rough-weather sensitivity on the exposed midsection.
Site conditions, restrictions, and access requirements.
Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Keep penetration conservative, give sharks space, and treat the wreck as a serious depth-management dive even in calm water.
Access Restrictions
Boat access only; penetration is not recommended, and the deep wreck profile is best left to experienced divers.
Legal Notes
Follow operator briefings and local site rules. Do not enter overhead spaces without the training and kit to manage the exit.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A good fit for experienced divers who want a deep wreck, a visible superstructure, and a controlled exterior route.
Freediving
Not a practical freedive site; the useful structure is too deep for a meaningful breath-hold session.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is only useful right at the surface drop-off; the wreck itself is a scuba site.
