East Chute

★★★★☆ (98)

Beautiful wall dive site with a swim through and a small wreck. The top of the wall at East Chute is 45-50ft with sandy channels down to the wall. The Cayman Mariner wreck lies in the sand at about 55ft and home to a lot of macro life.

The wall is covered by sponges and corals. Cleaning stations and multiple reef fish, including barracudas, pufferfish, parrotfish and angelfish.
