I am a Dive Master and work at Treasuer Divers in Boca Chica. I can tell you that there are three wrecks in proximity to Boca Chica...

The Catuan is a tug boat that was purposely sunk for artifical reef about 5 years ago. You can penetrate it and it is quite safe. This is considered a local dive by dive operators in Boca Chica. Its depth is between 18 meters and 23 meters. I like this wreck a lot.

La Caleta national park is home to two wrecks: The Hickory and El Limon. There was a third one, which was all wood and has long since broken up. La Caleta park is basically just west of the airport. That being said, it is an excursion from Boca Chica, which our company does do using our larger boat. It takes about 45 minutes to get to and you'd dive both of the wrecks.

Juan Dolio is not good for diving, as the visibility is a lot worse and the coral is much less developed than in Boca Chica. Surprisingly, once you get passed the barrier reef in Boca Chica, the water is quite clean and visibility is normally excellent.

If you have diving questions about the area, feel free to message me.
