LAYOVER: BOCA CHICA
Boca Chica, just 10km from Aeropuerto Internacional Las Américas, ends up being a good final stop
for those wanting to take one last dip in the Caribbean before catching their flights home. Aside from
its proximity to the capital and the airport, there's not a lot to recommend as it caters to a weathered
crowd and is marred by in-your-face sex tourism.
There are over 25 dive sites in the area, including the shipwreck
Catuan,
a 33m-long troller sunk in
2006. The most recommended dive shop in town is
