Parque Nacional Submarino La Caleta

Parque Nacional Submarino La Caleta is a premier dive destination near Boca Chica, Dominican Republic, and the country's first underwater national park. The park protects several deliberately scuttled ships, including the famous Hickory wreck, now covered in vibrant coral growth. The marine reserve status has allowed fish populations to flourish, with large groupers, nurse sharks, and eagle rays commonly seen. Suitable for beginners in shallow sections, this historic marine park offers an unmatched combination of wreck diving and reef ecology.
