Explore the sunken vessel El Aguila, a 210-foot cargo boat lying in a hundred feet of water. Then head over to the Odyssey, the largest wreck off Roatan. Lying 110 feet below the surface next to a vivid part of the reef wall, the ship's stern lists at about 30 degrees, and it's possible to swim through it. Subway Watersports organizes dives to both wrecks.

Swim with sharks by going on a dive through Waihuka Adventure Diving (Dixon Cove, Las Palmas; 504-445-1283), an experienced shop located on the island's south side. Seventy feet down, groups of up to fifteen docile gray reef sharks zoom in to be fed by a dive master. Keep watch for large schools of fish, like grouper.
