About Chub Hole
Chub Hole is a boat-accessed East End reef off Grand Cayman where a miniwall breaks into tunnels, canyons, and archways before opening into coral fingers and overhangs. It suits divers who like structure and a calm pace, with tarpon in the shadows, slipper lobster in the crevices, and loggerhead turtles cruising the reef when conditions line up.
