About Almendra
Almendra is a Boca Chica boat dive with a shallow training shelf that rolls into a steep wall and deeper funnel. The site combines a flat reef, curious crabs near the harbor stones, and a bigger drop-off for advanced divers who want more depth after the easy upper section. Plan it as a guided boat dive with solid buoyancy control, depth discipline, and an eye on changing conditions around the wall.
