seen several referencces to good reef at Pela. We are on-island for the next week near there and can access Almodovar/Manglar Bay with kayaks. Can anyone pinpoint for us the location near/around Pela where we can snorkel and if it is any good? Mnay thanan

I would go to the Eastern part of the cut in the center of this:

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&time=&date=&ttype=&q=culebra,+pr&ie=UTF8&ll=18.291379,-65.257072&spn=0.009677,0.014591&t=h&z=16&om=0

not really part of Pela, but close enough with kayaks. Go around the reef from Pela. I got stuck once trying to go on the inside. But then again, that was at night with no waves (makes it harder to see where the water breaks at night) and a really low tide.

Enjoy Culebra!

Michael

are you referring to inside or outside of the reef there? (at manzanilla)

Tried the inside and found it very shallow, junk reef mostly, tough access. Outside looks prettty rough to do - at least this week... are we missing something?
