La Caleta Underwater National Park
18° 26.5′ N · 69° 41.1′ W
A marine park just west of Boca Chica where floats mark a group of sunken wrecks close to shore, with park moorings so you never need to drop an anchor.
Practical
Mooring area position from the Virgintino DR guide (~2015): use the park moorings rather than your anchor. Rangers answer on VHF 16 ('La Caleta National Park'). Day use only: no overnight anchoring. Dive operators in Boca Chica run trips.
