About Sand Chute
Sand Chute is a Grand Cayman boat dive built around a broad sand chute that funnels down toward a wall drop-off off Seven Mile Beach. Black coral sits near the top, and the site is known for sharks, rays, and turtles moving along the chute and reef edge. It rewards controlled buoyancy, a clear turn plan, and a calm read of current before you drop in.
