March 2005 Jutta and Markus are great to spend time with, whether diving or out and about around town or on tours. They are very friendly and helpful recommending different activities such as various tours, restaurants, etc. on the island. They will get you headed in the right direction and I highly recommend Caribbean Divers.

Wreck Dives:

Here are the wreck dives we know of for Boca Chica.

Hickory
Ranked as OK by independant reviews Ranked as OK by independant reviews
The Hickory lies tilted slightly towards its stern at a depth of 18 meters and is covered in sponges and hard corals. Its rooms, whether above or below deck, are easy to see and they house many glass and glasseye fish. Moray eels have found their homes in the wreck´s many nooks and crannies. Soldier fish prefer the inside of the wreck, while sergeant major fish used to being fed by divers can even get on your nerves as they swarm divers. The wreck is also home to many small species and offers the photographer a great opportunity for close-up shots. Approximately 30 meters from the wreck, one can find a canon and an anchor from the 17th century, lying here waiting for their decomposition.
12m / 39ft
18m / 59ft
Deliberately sunk: 01-Jan-1986 Wreck penetration not possible Technical or decompression diving. More info...
