Roccadilly is normally run as a guided Boca Chica boat dive with site choice and timing handled by the operator.
Roccadilly sits in Boca Chica’s sheltered lagoon and mixes sponge heads, reef fish, and sandy areas on a short boat run from the coast. It is easy for beginners but still has enough relief and depth for experienced divers.
