Halliburton Wreck
Location:
Utila, South East
Highlights:
The Wreck
DIVE BRIEF: With a length of 35metres, a width of 8 metres and a height of 18m this boat is big! It was a Cargo Ship until 1998 when it was decided that it would be sunk to create a wreck dive and an ecosystem that would add and complete Utila’s diverse underwater world. The wreck lies on a sandy bottom at 100ft. The port side is next to coral formations that head north and gradual ascend to the reef at the lighthouse. The east buoy descends directly to the bow and the west buoy takes us to the stern of the boat.
