Roatan, el aquila shipwreck dive

[vcblklion]

My photos and videos from diving the El Aquila (The Eagle) shipwreck in Roatan. My first real wreck dive and this was overwhelming...just the sheer size of something man made and sunken in such a huge ocean.....

I was there last month and absolutely love diving el Aquila over Odyssey. Seeing the garden eels, hog fish, and swim through the wreck are all amazing!

We did both. I have to admit the Odessey overwhelmed me. The bow was ok but when I got to the stern after swimming the length and then looking up at it with the stairs exposed and everything......I just felt uncomfortable....it was ghostly.....I need to go back and do it again. I don't like feeling like it beat me...LOL

Here's a bit of the Odessey

I will be there in August for my second trip and dive of the Aquila. There was a videographer with us on the dive last time. I bought it and have watched it many times since.

Thanks for the pics and video!
