Odyssey Wreck

The Odyssey Wreck is a 300-foot (91 m) multi-level cargo vessel resting on a sandy flat off the north coast of Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras. The ship was deliberately sunk in 2002 to create an artificial reef and dive site. It measures 85 feet (26 m) from keel to mast, making it one of the more substantial purpose-sunk wrecks in the Caribbean. The site is reached by a short boat ride and the wreck sits with its shallowest point — the top of the mast — at 40 feet (12 m), rising through multiple levels: the top of the bow at 70 feet (21 m), the bulwarks and cargo hold level at 80 feet (24 m), the bow at 107 feet (33 m), and the stern at around 120 feet (37 m), with a maximum depth of around 30.8 m.

The sheer scale of the wreck means a single dive covers only a portion of the ship; fully exploring the bow, stern, cargo holds, and multi-deck superstructure realistically requires several dives. Up to three dive boats can work the site at the same time without divers crossing paths, and the range of depths means that sections of the wreck are accessible to different experience levels, though the site overall is rated intermediate to advanced.

Marine life on the Odyssey includes green moray eels, great barracuda, groupers, blue parrotfish, sand eels, eagle rays, turtles, sharks, and tuna, as well as atlantic thorny oysters colonising the structure. The wreck is diveable year-round, and visibility is generally great.
