Boca Chica

Diving

Local dive aficionados will tell you that the South Coast, including Boca Chica, Juan Dolio, Isla Catalina, and, most notably, the underwater national park La Caleta, offers the best diving in the country. La Caleta is a half-day trip from Boca Chica, and experienced divers can explore two sunken vessels—the Limón, a 115-foot tugboat, or the famous Hickory, a 130-foot freighter. Both lie in 60 feet of water. Isla Catalina requires a full day, but divers can discover black coral, huge sponges, and sea fans.
