Boca Chica

Boca Chica ranks 1st on the list of the best dive sites in Dominican Republic. It is a municipality of the Santo Domingo province in the Dominican Republic. Within the underwater national park, these two wrecks are near together. The Hickory is a 144-foot-long (44-meter) freighter that is currently lying on a shallow flat sandy floor. The Limon, on the other hand, is a 70-foot (21-meter) tugboat that was sunk among coral reefs specifically for diving.

In Boca Chica, both wrecks have attracted a lot of marine life, and you can swim about and look at the sponges and encrusting corals that have taken over their bones. There are also many tropical reef fish in the wreck, including sergeant fish, butterflyfish, batfish, and rare lionfish. Diving conditions are good all year round but you still need to be careful which time of year you decide to visit. From July to November, hurricanes can hit the region while winter sees faster and stronger winds. When it comes to sea life, you are truly spoiled. You will be able to feast your eyes upon turtles, sharks, eels, and eagle rays, and enjoy the bustling life of the region’s healthy, magnificent reefs.
