More Info: Until 1975, Culebra was an active Navy range for training. As such, the area was off-limits to boating and marine activities. Because of this history , most of the reefs are in excellent condition and marine life is abundant everywhere.
The small islands around Culebra are protected by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. These islands and other rock out cropings offer over 50 dive sites with some very dramatic scenery. Photographers love it here, both on land and underwater. Schools of Angelfish, Spade Fish, and Spanish Gruts are so plentiful that you cannot help but have several "models" to work with! There are fan corals 4 to 6 feet across, soft Gorgonians and Sponges of the most beautiful colors imaginable. According to Richard Cantwell, from Culebra Dive Shop, "there are a variety of reefs to choose from and you can help me by tclling me a little about the type of diving you have done and what you would like to do. The depths vary from the average 40ft.to75 ft.on deep dives. I have over 50 dive sites to choose from so that you will be able to see a variety of reefs to suit your desires. You can choose from a beginner's Resort Course to more skilled advanced diving. All of our diving is done around the Island of Culebra. Dive tours are available on 3 boats (42', 30', and 23’). This gives us lots of flexibility to accommodate our customers."
