Why dive here
With 173+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, humpback whales, orcas, sea turtles and sperm whales - Stingray Point, Boca Chica offers some of Bayahibe & La Romana's richest diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Stingray Point, a short boat ride from Boca Chica, typically gives us around 15m visibility, which is decent for exploring its mix of coral blocks and sandy stretches. We often find groupers tucked into the reef structure and, true to its name, have good luck spotting stingrays cruising the open sand. Keep an eye out for yellowhead jawfish darting into their burrows. Maximum depth here is 21m, making it a good choice for divers comfortable with that range, especially those who appreciate a relaxed drift over hunting for big pelagics.
