Sheltered shallow Culebra boat site with easy snorkeling and cable hazard.
The Ledges is a sheltered shallow boat site off Culebra with a ledge-and-hard-bottom profile that works well for calm-day snorkeling and relaxed scuba. Tidal currents can shift with the tide, so timing matters more than depth. The bottom also carries old phone lines and underwater cables, so the main planning focus is current, surface awareness, and avoiding entanglement.
