Start near the middle of Puerto Rico and dig straight down through the centre of the Earth, and you would surface around 18.3012° S, 113.5550° E, in Indian Ocean 🌊. That spot is open water; the nearest coast is Australia 🇦🇺, roughly 329 km (204 miles) north-west.
The closest settlement of any size is Karratha, Australia, about 440 km (273 miles) from the point.
