West Chute
West Chute is a Cayman Brac boat wall dive with a sand chute.
Boat-access wall dive on Cayman Brac's north side with a sandy chute, coral pinnacle, and regular reef traffic; best when the sea is calm.
About West Chute
West Chute is a Cayman Brac north-side wall dive built around a sandy chute that opens onto a coral ledge. The route is straightforward for a boat day and rewards careful buoyancy along the upper wall and reef edge. Expect clear water, mild movement on calm days, and a rich mix of turtles, wrasse, morays, and other reef fish moving through the chute and wall.

Local Intel For West Chute
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A controlled descent onto the upper wall and a slow pass along the chute works best; keep trim tight at the edge.
Freediving
Not a primary freedive target; the profile is better suited to scuba than breath-hold runs.
Snorkeling
Not snorkel-focused; the useful route starts too deep for casual surface-only use.
