The tidal current through Current Cut reaches 6 to 10 knots, making it one of the fastest drift dives in the Caribbean. The narrow 100-yard channel between Eleuthera and Current Island funnels the tide, creating incredible speed. The entire drift lasts roughly 10 minutes.

Advanced Open Water certification is the minimum, but significant drift diving experience is strongly recommended. This is not a casual dive -- the current is extremely powerful and there is no option to stop or turn back once committed. Contact a local dive operator on Eleuthera for guidance before attempting this dive.

The channel reaches depths of 15 to 18 metres (50 to 60 feet). The bottom is pockmarked and features remnants of the old Current Cut Hotel along with coral formations. Divers are swept over this landscape at speed, making the terrain blur past in an unforgettable rush.
