Sand Chute
Sand Chute: easy boat reef off New Providence.
Sand Chute is a simple boat dive with a gentle slope, mild conditions, and enough life to suit newer divers.
About Sand Chute
Sand Chute is a boat-access reef off southwest New Providence with a gentle sandy chute that drops toward deeper water. It fits an easy, active dive day for divers who want a simple boat run, clear water, and a good chance of seeing sharks, rays, turtles, and plenty of fish. The profile stays beginner-friendly, but the site still rewards a slower look along the slope and wall.
