Current Cut
A narrow channel between Eleuthera and Current Island where you can drift-dive with the rushing tide, renowned as a world-class drift diving site.
Current Cut is a channel roughly 100 metres wide between North Eleuthera and Current Island. As the tide flows in and out, seawater rushes through at more than 10 km/h, and divers drift for over ten minutes, passing eagle rays, sea turtles, grouper and sharks along the way. Dives are only possible at suitable tides, and you need some open-water diving experience. Trips are organised by dive shops on Harbour Island or North Eleuthera, with a boat ride of about 40 minutes.
