Sorry guys. I was there, actually went there again this past w.e.
We got pictures, but not with my camera. I will be collecting some and post them.
We stayed at Flamenco beach, on a beach house complex which you can actually see on the picture you posted. I did some snorkelling on those reefs that you see on the photo. Depth is around 30-60 feet to the sand floor, but reefs are shallow.
We left the boat at the public pier in Culebras bay ( Ensenada Bay ), but had a car ( ferried ) to move around. I spend 60 gals of gas back and forth, which is around 25+25 naut miles, plus around 50 more miles around the bay and going to Culebrita Island about 5 miles away.
It was great, saw a huge !!! Tinglar turtle about 6 feet long about 10 feet from the boat !!!
This past w.e. we went there again, and it was beautiful, but two things where not good;
A boat hit a snorkel diver and the guy lost the leg due to the many injuries. Also a 40 footer hit a reef and almost sank, luckily we noticed it was taking water too quickly and I convinced the Captain to run it aground on the beach sand so it didnt sink completely. She was recovered because a Company named Sea Tow came over with good gas powered water pumps and pumped the water out, plugged the holes, and towed her to a dry dock.
Culebra is a beautiful place to visit, please plan a trip there sometime, We will help you out.
