Seaquest Deep - Roatán

The Halliburton is one of our favourite wreck dives in Roatán, probably because it feels like you’re exploring a proper ship, not just a pile of metal. Sunk intentionally in ‘98, it’s a 30-meter cargo vessel that still holds its shape well. We love finning along the deck at 20 meters, peering into the open cargo holds. The swim-throughs are easy and there’s usually light streaming in, making it a good option even if you’re newer to wreck penetration. You'll spot plenty of Belted Cardinalfish tucked into the darker corners, and keep an eye out for Pygmy Filefish swaying gently on the encrusted railings. We’ve seen Schools of Snapper swirling around the bridge, which sits at 18 meters, making for some great photo opportunities. The wreck just keeps evolving too; the corals are really taking hold now, bringing in more and more smaller critters. It’s a site that rewards multiple visits – you’ll always find something new hiding in the nooks and crannies. We usually dive it in the morning to beat any crowds.
