The Halliburton is a wreck dive located 400 metres off the coast of West End and West Bay, Honduras. Resting at depths between 18 and 30 metres, this artificial reef requires boat access. Divers experience visibility ranging from 18 to 30 metres, allowing for clear views of the structure. The site is suited for intermediate divers due to the depth, overhead environment, and potential for nitrogen narcosis. Divers should be aware of boat traffic, entanglement risks, and the need for strict depth control. A typical dive lasts 30 minutes, and it is recommended to confirm specific wreck certification requirements with local operators before planning a visit.
