SETECA - Roatán

Seteca offers a nice glimpse into Roatán's past. This old fishing vessel, which sank back in '79 near French Harbour, is sitting upright at a shallow ten metres, making it a good spot for a relaxed dive. The wreck itself is pretty much intact, with the stern section being the most interesting part to poke around. Over the years, it's become home to various small critters – we often spot moray eels tucked into crevices, and schools of grunts usually hang out in the shadows. It’s a gentle wreck dive, good for new wreck enthusiasts or a chilled-out second dive.
