This dive site, Ron’s Wreck, is the remains of an old shrimp fishing boat located west of Moon Hole in Honduras. Resting at an average depth of 9 meters, descending to a maximum of 19 meters, it offers an accessible and intriguing wreck dive. Divers typically approach it by boat, navigating around the sunken vessel to explore its structure and the surrounding seabed. The wreck serves as a fascinating artificial reef, providing shelter and sustenance for a variety of marine organisms.
The wreck is a vibrant habitat for diverse marine life. Moray eels and lionfish are commonly found within and around its structure. For macro enthusiasts, there's the exciting possibility of spotting rare nudibranchs and lettuce sea slugs. In the open water surrounding the wreck, divers may encounter graceful spotted eagle rays and observe schools of vibrant blue tangs swimming by.
The best time to visit Ron's Wreck generally aligns with Honduras's dry season (November to May), offering optimal visibility and calm conditions. Its relatively shallow average depth makes it ideal for both scuba divers of all levels, including those new to wreck diving, and freedivers looking to explore a fascinating site on a single breath. Photographers will find opportunities for both wide-angle shots of the wreck and detailed macro photography of its resident creatures. Always be mindful of local dive regulations and marine life protection.
