Why dive here
With 168+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, orcas, sea turtles, whale sharks and pufferfish - The Wreck of the Mr Bud offers some of Roatán's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
The Mr. Bud wreck in Roatán gives you a solid opportunity to explore a purpose-sunk vessel without pushing too deep. It’s a fairly intact cargo ship, sitting upright, which always makes for a more interesting swim-through than a broken-up pile of metal. We usually find schools of jacks circling the main deck and lots of small groupers tucked into the shadowed recesses. It’s a comfortable dive, good for newer wreck divers or anyone looking for a relaxed second dive.
Safety Notes
Wreck site - avoid penetration without wreck diving certification. Watch for sharp metal and entanglement hazards.
