Why dive here

The Cutt in Abaco offers a straightforward dive, popular for its modest depths and generally calm conditions. We've often found small reef sharks patrolling the sandy bottom here, and it’s a good spot to observe garden eels swaying in the current. It’s a solid choice for a relaxing second dive or for divers getting comfortable with drift diving, as the current is usually gentle enough to enjoy the ride without too much effort.
