Overview

Devon's Drop on Culebra has coral fingers along the coastline with soft corals and sea fans, and an old anchor rode runs from the coral across sand into seagrass. Current depends on the tide and ranges from mild to strong; local operators rate the site for beginners through advanced divers. It lies within the Canal Luis Peña Natural Reserve, a no-take area; check current DRNA rules.[1][2]
