Pica Rocca is a sheltered Boca Chica lagoon reef off the Dominican Republic, reached by a short boat ride and set centrally toward the south side of the lagoon. The site is a relaxed, easy-to-read dive with coral, rock, sponge heads, and sandy patches that give marine life plenty of places to shelter. Groupers, triggerfish, moray eels, lobsters, snails, and king crabs make it a steady look-and-search dive rather than a high-energy one.
