Caribbean Club Sand Chute is a shore-access dive off Seven Mile Beach in Grand Cayman, where a gradually sloping sand chute and finger coral extend toward the reef edge. The site is known for rays foraging in the sand and for the way the chute gives way to more dramatic structure as you move seaward. It works best as a calm, observant dive or snorkel where you can follow the sand, watch the rays, and keep your buoyancy loose and unhurried.

Good on calm days for breath-hold practice close to the sand chute, but it is best approached with a relaxed, controlled rhythm.
